MEGAN SULLIVAN WAS HAVING A ROUGH month. She’d fallen 50 feet while climbing in Yosemite. She survived. Then she got hit by a car. She survived. Then she was diagnosed with skin cancer. She survived. She explained over at Bored Panda:

My friends and family only half jokingly recommended me to purchase a giant human bubble to live in. But after realizing how expensive and very inconvenient to my dating life that would be, I had this great moment of clarity: I survived.

Sullivan took this realization and ran with it. She decided to live properly, so she traveled to seven of the new wonders of the world in a mere 13 days. Her trip looks absolutely incredible.

She took some amazing pictures of her trip as well, counting off each location when she arrived. She started at Chichen Itza:
