Being in nature and experiencing one of its wonders firsthand is part of what makes adventure travel so addicting. Something transformative happens when travelers let go and lose themselves in nature.

No other experience can match the power of standing close enough to a waterfall and feeling its wispy mist fall around you; or looking out toward the horizon at the vastness and magnitude of The Grand Canyon; or climbing Sedona’s Bell Rock and sitting cross-legged on it’s red, rugged shoulders.

Experiencing natural wonders is what makes travel so compelling and magical.

What are your favorite #naturalwonders?

For our next writing prompt, we’re looking for personal travel stories about a time when the sheer magnificence of one of nature’s wonders made you feel you were in the presence of something meaningful. Tell us about the natural destination — large and small — that has moved you as you traveled this amazing planet.

Be sure to add the hashtag #naturalwonders at the end of the article so we know to make it part of the writing prompt series.

At the end of the two-week period, starting now, our editors will choose their favorite writing prompt response. The writer who is chosen will win a priority publishing service for the next article they submit, and the winning post will get a prime position on our Blog.

Winner of the Previous Prompt

Thirteen intrepid travelers shared their stories of mishaps turned into rewarding experiences. We had so many good travel tales to share with Medium. Thank you to all the writers who participated.

And now, it’s time to reveal the winning post of the previous writing prompt on #unplannedadventures and its winning writer.

The winning post from last week’s prompt is titled: The Art of Quitting by Cathy Fulton.

“Sometimes (well, many times) when you are traveling, things don’t turn out the way you envisioned them. I had such great plans to visit some parts of Scotland and for the whole year before my journey I had even visualized myself there: The Isle of Skye, West Highland Way, Eilean Donan castle, the Jacobite Steam Train.”

Congratulations to Cathy for winning this week’s writing prompt contest. Our four editors selected your post as the best submission response. You will receive priority publishing on your next submitted article and your current winning piece will receive a prime position on our Blog!

Please share your stories of natural wonders and include the hashtag #naturalwonders at the end of your post.

Thank you for reading and submitting amazing travel stories to the World Travelers Blog. We hope you find interesting articles in this post and get inspired for future submissions.

Your editors,

Cody James Howell PhD (Raiden) / Glad Doggett / Anne Bonfert / Be Adventurer
