Sometime in the late 90’s I must have heard of UNESCO world heritage, because I started looking for sites when planning a trip to Japan in 1999. We often travel to visit people we know who are living in interesting places and then build the trip around reachable heritage sites. We have travelled to UNESCO sites on all continents other than Antarctica.
