Have you ever had the desire to wander the world and see what was out there? While some people prefer to
stay in the comfort of their own home, others have been bitten by the travel bug and can’t wait to explore the world.
Exotic places call to them. “Come visit me and I will show you my mysteries,” they say.

Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of
the world. They wander through the castles and museums of Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North
and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The great outback of
Australia is a wonderland for those who go there. And a few lucky people even make it to the most mysterious
continent on earth—Antarctica.

Why do people want to explore the world? It gives them a better perspective about the earth and the people
living on it. It opens their minds, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment, and it makes them feel alive. So save
some money, get your passport ready, and see the world. It will change your life forever.
