A rough plan to understand the world beyond our life in a bubble

We have decided to dedicate the next few months to exploring nature and culture around the world.

Nature:

  • Hiking the 200km Tour du Mont Blanc through the French, Italian, and Swiss alps 

  • Cruising the Mediterranean Sea

  • Going on an Overland Safari in Africa, visiting Serengeti and tracking the Gorillas 

  • Walking the northern tip of Sahara desert 

  • Exploring China’s southwest and its stunning landscapes: Yunnan, Guilin, Zhangjiajie, and the Himalayas

  • ...

Culture:

  • Tracing the evolution of western civilization through architecture, art, and religion: Ancient Greece (Athens), Ancient Rome (Rome), medieval (Vatican), renaissance (Florence), and contemporary era (Barcelona) 

  • Visiting Africa for the first time: Morocco in North Africa, and Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda in East Africa. Understanding the history of the oldest land on earth through early tribes, Islamic influence, and colonial times

  • Tracing the pillars of eastern philosophy by visiting ancient capitals of China and Japan

  • Peeking into Tibet and the Buddhist belief

  • ...

Like all plans, this one is subject to change. Fasten the seatbelt, we are ready to take off.
