I first caught the travel bug on an Interrail trip as a student many years ago. This inspired me to undertake a 6 month round the world trip by land (flying over the oceans) the following year.
Over 15 years ago I discovered the UNESCO list and realised that I had visited many already. Since then I have become a committed WHS bagger.
Luckily l get to travel a bit for work which allows me to take a few days out to visit nearby sites and also to earn avois for additional leisure trips.
I aim to visit about 14 WHS a year - so less a year than on average are added to the list!
My proposal for a new site: Jerash
