Though sometimes feeling very tired, I'm still trying to get to more WHSs. I only visit cultural / mixed WHSs in purpose (if natural WHSs are not that far from the route, why not having a look?) because in my opinion human beings are the most diverse to get to know.

I'm a polyglot with 6 languages fluently spoken and 10+ languages for basic conversation. Speaking local languages makes me go deeper into local culture.

Current mission:

2024-2025 Latin America

2019-ongoing China

Past:

2023-2024 SE Asia

2023 Kazakhstan / Uzbekistan

My most impressive site: Plain of Jars, Laos

My proposal for a new site: Wooden Structures of Liao Dynasty, China

An untouched gem
