May 2025 visit. It seems like everyone visits Nesvizh after Mir Castle on the same day since they are only half an hour apart. This is probably the better choice …

Air traffic controller from Canada. Spent the better part of my 20's traveling around the world after finishing my bachelor degree. Made a friend on the road that suggested I look into the WH list if I didnt know what to visit somewhere. Excellent advice! Unfortunately got into the WHS thing a little too late to maximize my potential visits. I wont make that mistake again! Now my goal is to visit every country and as many WHS as i reasonably can and I'm rarely disappointed.
My travel experience is varied but has mostly ranged in the budget to extreme budget category which has made things very interesting at times. With a limited time and budget and to balance other interests I am more prone to skipping out on the less known natural WHS.
I still try to take holidays and visit new sites a few times a year, with an itinerary and prioritization that befuddles all, including the mrs.
Fun trivia: I proposed to my wife in the Rock Islands WHS in Palau. I married her in the Waterton/Glacier NP WHS in Canada :)
My most impressive site: So many to choose

Mir Castle (Inscribed)
Mir Castle
May 2025. I visited Mir Castle as a full-day tour with Smart-Tour from Minsk along with Nesvizh. For 45€ the tour included lunch and entry to both sites. I was …

Białowieża Forest (Inscribed)
Bialowieza Forest (Belarus)
Expectations are an underappreciated influence in the way we experience a site and so managing them to an appropriate level ahead of a visit can sometimes be the difference between …

Brimstone Hill Fortress (Inscribed)
Brimstone Hill Fortress
The British started fortifying the double peaked Brimstone Hill in 1690. Sitting at around 800ft it offers commanding views of the coastline and neighbouring islands and with such a steep …

Levuka (Inscribed)
Levuka
I made a last-minute decision to visit Levuka when I found myself in Suva with a few extra days to spare. Previous reviewers have already described the town well. I …

Sigatoka Sand Dunes (On tentative list)
Sigatoka Sand Dunes
I had a day to spare between flights and like sand dunes so made a quick visit here in Sept 2024. This is an easy day trip from Nadi on …

The Royal Court of Tiébélé (Inscribed)
The Royal Court of Tiébélé
I visited Tiebele in April 2023 on my final day in Burkina Faso. Being not far off the main highway to Ghana, it was still safely accessible and was done …

Sya, centre historique de Bob… (On tentative list)
Sya, centre historique de Bobo-Dioulasso
Visited April 2023. As part of a 5-day private tour of Burkina Faso I stayed 2 nights in Bobo-Dioulasso and was able to visit this site. The most recognizable part …

Sudd wetland (On tentative list)
Sudd wetland
Visited Apr 2023. The Sudd wetland is a very important inland freshwater ecosystem on a scale with the already listed Pantanal and Okavango delta. Throughout the year it's size is …

Rock Art of the Mediterranean… (Inscribed)
Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin
I can understand this one having a poor rating as it really shouldn't take 700+ locations to make your point. But with that many locations we are going to need …

Minoan Palatial Centres (Inscribed)
Minoan Palatial Centres
We visited 3 of the 5 sites during our visit to Crete in Feb 2022.
Our first introduction to Minoan ruins was actually at Phaistos. It was an easy …

Archaeological site of Ancien… (On tentative list)
Archaeological site of Ancient Messene
We visited this site in Feb 2022 en route from the Mani peninsula to Olympia. I would definitely recommend a visit and a car to get there. Our GPS took …

Mt. Myohyang (On tentative list)
Mt. Myohyang
I visited Pohyon temple and the Mt. Myohyang area during my North Korean tour in late 2017. As with all things while in the country, I had no control over …
Les ruines d'Ouara (On tentative list)
Les ruines d'Ouara
My visit to Ouara is more of a story about the journey and not much the destination itself. In Jan 2012, a friend and I convinced the relevant authorities (through …

Hegra (Inscribed)
Hegra
We felt lucky to have been able to get in to see this site in Feb 2020. It has been officially closed for quite a while and will continue to …

Rock Art in the Hail Region (Inscribed)
Rock Art in the Hail Region
We also visited the Jubbah section of the rock art in early Feb 2020. It is an easy day trip from Hail and we went on a friday afternoon. Note …

Asmara (Inscribed)
Asmara
I must admit that I didn't go all the way to Eritrea in Feb 2020 to specifically visit this WHS though it would be impossible to miss once you are …

Zabid (Inscribed)
Zabid
I managed to get to Zabid in March 2007, just before UNESCO gave it a "last chance" to fix itself up. It was in a terrible state of decay but …

The Historic City of Thula (On tentative list)
The Historic City of Thula
Unintentional visit Feb 2007. I hadn't set out to specifically visit Thula but while at the rock palace of Wadi Dhahr I was offered a ride with an American woman …

Maaloula (On tentative list)
Maaloula
Visited Feb 2007. Maaloula is less than an hour by minibus from Damascus but I made an overnight trip of it, staying overnight with the nuns in the Convent of …
