When I discovered this website some years ago I immediately decided to register, done on September 15th, 2018! It is good to find people as fond to visit Unesco World Heritage Sites as I'm, sharing & learning for their experiences!

During several years I visited those sites without being aware of their affiliation to this great list! I'm now focusing my (many!) travels on visiting the WHS!

Currently I am in the last leg of a leisure/discovery trip which brought me in several Caribbean islands and let me visit two WHS in Suriname. I'm now reaching 730 visited sites! I am also paying more attention to the TWHS out of which I visited nearly 254 ones!

The 2024 first semester travel plans should bring me to some African States and Central America!

I really enjoy when I reach a WHS, often after a long & complex trip! To discover in real what I have known only by reading or watching pictures is a great satisfaction! I am feeling "mission done " when I look at the UNESCO plaque & am fond to take pictures of the official UNESCO sign; I am also much disappointed when either I miss the sign or when there is none.. It happens not rarely & the responsible authorities for those sites should pay more attention to enhance this mark of honor!

I also have a great interest in vexillology (the historic research on civil flags)!

 

My most impressive site: Petra, Iguazu, Kakadu Nat. Park, Versailles, Komodo Nat. Park, Galapagos, Angkor, Baalbek, Leptis Magna, Tikal....

My proposal for a new site: Bouches de Bonifacio, Cap Nord,

Lenggong Valley

As a recent visitor throughout the Malaysian mainland, I wished to visit the WHS of the Lenggong Valley!

This site is not really difficult to find but it seems …
