I love to travel and ithat's probably because of my family. I was justr a few months old when I took my first plane to scotland and just two years later I went to Vietnam. I had the luck of having well off grandparents set head on on travelling the world with their family. So I've been travelling ever since I can remember and well before that. 

By the time I was 18 I started building upon my already long list of family trips with a set of my own. Starting slow, I've been gaining my footing, especially in regards to solo travel. 

I'm a history geek, an all out foodie, and in general curious of many topics. I think that's why I like the WHL so much. I love learning about obscure facts and the list largely satisfies my hunger for knowledge. I also sync with the fundamental idea behind the list: that there are places humanity at large should attempt to protect.

So for the last few years I've been using this web to make my trips, follow the hijinks of the committee, and in general talk about heritage with other people.

 

 

My most impressive site: Chola temples, Petra, Taj Mahal

My proposal for a new site: David gareja, armenia. Schwedagon pagoda
