I became aware of World Heritage Sites in 1996, when I was living in Australia. Any travel plans that I make now almost always have to include a WHS. When my husband and I were planning our honeymoon destination, we considered any place in the Caribbean that had a WHS and so St. Kitts it was! It's annoying that I've been to the Philippines 13 times but have not visited a single WHS there (every trip has been with my parents to see the many, many relatives). I guess I'll have to go a 14th time in the future! Since there are currently 1,007 sites, a more realistic goal for me is to see all North American World Heritage sites. I have visited 11 out of Canada's 15 sites, as of 2011. We travelled to all 5 of the province of Alberta's sites in 10 days, which was not easy considering the distance between some of them! As an American, it always surprises me when I meet another American who has not ventured to the beautiful country just north of ours. In the near future, I would also like to visit more European sites so I can catch up with some of you who have seen so many! Happy and safe traveling to all!

My most impressive site: Fraser Island (Australia)

My proposal for a new site: Acadia National Park (USA)

I must say that I'm usually pleased with how Canadians take pride in their World Heritage Sites. Old Lunenburg is no exception. A lovely area in the old town (to …

Joggins Fossil Cliffs

The fossil cliffs were really amazing, especially with the Bay of Fundy (known to have the highest tides in the world) right there beside them. We arrived there just in …
