👉 Where do you plan to go with $10K in your wallet? Tell the reasons with brief details.

Well, you might expect me to lean towards a beachy retreat or have that luxury tour to Dubai, considering that I live on a lonely island called Sri Lanka. But, surprise surprise, I've decided to follow the whispering winds of my childhood dream, the ancient pyramids of Egypt! Ever since I got to know these remarkable structures, I felt an inexplicable connection. I knew someday I had to visit them. There's a big chance I have a past life connection with them. I mean it guys! I have a wild thought that I was there. Maybe, just maybe, I was a pharaoh in a past life, and those pyramids were my playground. Imagine that, me, a great Egypt king! (Well, in my dreams at least 🤴).

👉 Which unique activities are you thinking about to do there? Might be making extreme sports, eating meals you never thought to taste or even buying rare objects you never saw before... be creative.

Okay it will be the camel ride. We don't have these fantastic long legged, humpbacked creatures in Sri Lanka. So I'll be very much looking forward to getting onto one of those. Also, the idea of navigating the sandy dunes atop a camel sounds like the perfect adventure. Plus, I'm eager to taste the sand of a desert on my face, something I can't even imagine on this tropical island. It will be a lifetime memory for me.

And Egypt isn't just about pyramids and camels, right? I'm eyeing a culinary adventure that would make my taste buds do the happy rain dance. I heard that the markets of Cairo have so many delectable treats waiting to be discovered.

👉 Who will be the person or people to go with you in this great travel? They can be relatives, friends, pets or even any Steemian you'd love to share with in this adventure.

It's got to be my wife! come on.. there's no way she'd approve any other living being on that flight with me for sure. She's the chief executive of such decisions in my life. So it is fixed!. However, she's not the biggest fan of our tropical sun, so I don't know how she will manage the desert sun 🌞 Not my problemo, I say! Let's assume that ancient mysteries and the promise of camel cuddles will win her over.

👉 How will be this occasion as something significant to you in your life? A lesson to appreciate opportunities? Share with your beloved ones? Growth of yourself? Describe your personal vision.

It's about learning to appreciate the mysteries of the world, both ancient and new. These are gateways to a realm of mysteries on this planet. I believe even with modern technologies we can't still identify how these colossal structures mirroring star patterns and align with celestial bodies. The precision of construction is just alien to us. For me visiting them is not just about exploring a historical site, but witnessing the knowledge far beyond our own or human spirit that we won't achieve ever again.

Thank you for this interesting contest @travelingsteem. Looking forward to taking on the next week’s challenge. I would like to invite @moyeon, @bonaventure24 & @sualeha to participate in this contest.

Thank you.

Peace to all 🙏
