105 World Heritage Sites I Have Visited

I have always been a traveller, and an explorer. Yes, that has always been me...




I was raised by explorer parents too.  Since I was growing up, we have travelled,
so experiencing new places has become a part of who I am.

Some of the world heritage sites that I have visited made amazing and everlasting impressions on me. I have attended concerts and live music events at breathtakingly beautiful sites, experiences which have stayed with me all my life, and drive me forward to make the experience available for others.

I was surprised when I went through the list in 2012, and checked off the sites I have been to throughout my life, I found I've already been to quite a few of them, without even trying to get to them specifically.

So far, I have been to 105 World Heritage Sites, including 12 in the United States, and 93 outside of the US.  I can't wait to add to the list visiting and experiencing more of these amazing places!

Here's a list with the sites I've been to, and links to the World Heritage page for each of these amazing locations!  It's interesting on retrospect to look at these and read about them again.  I have had fun digging up my photos and memoirs from my travels, and adding some of them, here too, to include my personal experience.

I'm still working my way through the archives, photographing the photos, and adding pictures to this blog page, so check back often!  These are all previously unpublished photos... obviously!




Next, I will write up the list of World Heritage Sites, on my wants list, of where I dream of travelling to, and producing the music concerts, along with the line ups, I envision to include at the sites!

Enjoy, and take a look at the sites where you may have been too.  If you have favorite location, and stories to share, about your amazing visits and experiences at World Heritage locations, please comment and message me!
