Odysseus and the Trojan War-perfect trip

Odysseus was one of the main heros in the Trojan War. He was the Greek King of Ithica. His most notable accomplishment was the ten years he took to return home after the Trojan War and his Trojan Horse to capture the city of Troy. His intelligence and slyness heightened his success in the war and capturing Troy. His journey back home was shockingly just as long as the war itself, raising many questions. His wittiness made him a great leader and allowed him to get through and survive just about any situation. A Trojan prince abducted Helen, the daughter of Zeus. The Trojan War is between the Greeks and the Trojans. Odysseus constructs a brilliant plan in which the army hides in a wooden horse and invades the city of Troy to win the war!
I have travelled to a lot of vacation places, but I feel like i have not explored the world. Although I have been to some amazing beaches, I would like to travel Europe, Asia, and possibly Australia. I feel like this would change my perspective on everything and allow me to see into other cultures. Seeing the Eiffel Tower in person would just be breathtaking because we are so accustomed to seeing it in pictures. Some sort of "world cruise" seems like the perfect trip going just out of retirement. It would allow me to explore the world and see it first hand. I love vacations so much and always find myself going to the beach, but I think it would be a great opportunity to expand my horizons and step outside of my comfort zone, maybe being forced to speak Spanish for a few weeks. It would help me feel comfortable to speak the language and learn the culture through my eyes. So, not to be cliche, but I would love to travel to Europe and then eventually Asia and Australia.
