Together with Svein, we travel around the world to explore and enjoy new WHS, countries, culture and great food. In 2010 we become WHS travellers, when we started planning our trips in order to visit WHS.
Hunting for WHS makes us go off the beaten tracks and brings us to new and exciting places, trying to understand the OUV. Travel is more than seeing new places, it’s about learning history, new culture and enjoy excotic food and drinks.
