Stepping foot on Antarctica would allow me to say that I have visited all seven continents. And if I chose the right trip, I’ll be one of the elite travelers to cross into the Arctic Circle. Unfortunately these trips are incredibly expensive (e.g. >$20,000 for a solo traveler) but are filled with amazing activities such as a kayaking, hiking, and a polar plunge.

Part of my 7 Wonders Of The World Series, Chichén Itzá is a pre-Columbian city build build by the Maya people. Located in Mexico, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the ‘new’ 7 Wonders Of The World. This is a reasonably easy trip to plan, a quick flight from the US, and would allow me to check off my 2nd wonder from this list.

As a self proclaimed connoisseur of pizza, Naples has been on my bucket list for years. History shows that the first pizzas made as a working class food as many as a 1000 years before they become a modern staple when Raffaele Esposito created the margherita pizza in 1889. Another easy trip to plan, but I may add an additional stop such as Pompei or Sicily.
