The New Earth
Pack your bags and prepare for a tour
around the world!
Before you begin….
First you’ll need to pick 4 ancient cities
that you will visit on your journey. You’ll
have to plan your travel route and choose
how you will travel. Will you fly? Will you
take a cruise? Or will you take your private
yacht? It’s up to you.
Be Creative

Be creative! Just remember to gather as
much information as you can because you
won’t be coming home directly after your
journey.
Your Mission:
You will be sent to a newly developing,
21st century society in a remote location.
The people there need your expertise to
help them set up a successful economic
system. During your travels, gather
information that will help you set up a
new economy for this 21st century new
world. Good luck and safe travels!
