Are you looking for a job and are certain of getting one in a few months? Visit these countries before the professional grind leaves you with little time.
About to join the workforce but there’s still some months to go before the happy event? Everyone will tell you to take it easy, since you will have little time to rest once you start working. But instead of worrying about your job situation, it is better to spend your time more productively – in worldwide travel!
We list the 7 must-visit destinations you can check off before you start working:
- Sossusvlei, Namibia. The Namib Desert is a must-visit experience for every person – there are very few sights in the world that are as majestic as the sand dunes of the Sossusvlei. These are the highest sand dunes in the world. Head there to watch the sunrise and sunset – the colours of the sky are spectacular during both times, and the sand acquires a luminous tone.
- Hydra, Greece. Hydra town has been the site for many old Hollywood classics, and it attracts a lot of tourists even today. It has retained its old world charm to such an extent that only water boat transport and carts are available if you want to move around! Some prominent Greeks have bungalows here, while the place is dotted with amphitheatres, beaches and the best Greek architecture.
- Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. Bolivia is uniformly beautiful, but you must particularly visit Salar de Uyuni, which is the world’s largest salt flat. The place is uniformly ‘salty’ – there’s even a hotel made entirely of hard salt! The high incidence of salt is attributed to the drying up of an ancient lake in this precinct – it left behind hard salty deposits that become reflective surfaces when it rains.
- Pyramids of Giza, Egypt. Egypt is on the wish list of many a traveller, but the most important sight here are the Pyramids of Giza. Located along the West of the Nile River, the Pyramids are huge symmetrical structures composed entirely of perfectly cut rock. The pyramids were built over 4,500 years ago, and were originally 481 feet high. However, about a foot of the stone casings has been stolen earlier.
- The Inca Trail, Peru. Mystery and history abound on the Inca Trail, South America’s finest and most famous trekking route. It is 43 km long and has scenic mountains, deep forest areas and jungles along the route marked with Inca-style paving stones. There are many ruins and tunnels to explore as well.
- The Dead Sea, Israel. The Dead Sea has long been an object of curiosity for the world, but Israel is much more than this site. You can explore the Mount of Olives, the Shrine of the Book in the Israel Museum, the Ein Karem village, Mount Zion, Tomb of King David, and Dormition Abbey.
- Hitachi Seaside Park, Japan. Japan is beautiful throughout, but its greenery is famous. Head to Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, near Ajigaura Beach. It is a flower park spread over 3.6 hectares of verdant land. Do check out the stunning blue nemphilas which have transparent petals!
