My WHS journey started properly in 2017, at the start of a multi-year trip to Europe. My husband and I had planned to travel "slowly", but that was quickly forgotten as we criss-crossed Europe ticking off WHS.
Complicating matters was the fact that we were travelling with our dog, a Miniature Dachshund called Schnitzel. Despite not being allowed into many sites, he's probably the dog who's visited the most WHS!
We're pictured here visiting the picturesque town of Edam, in the Netherlands - on a day where we visited the Beemster Polder and part of the Defences of Amsterdam sites.
In the years since, we've made multiple overseas trips targeting WHS, most recently a 3-month trip to South America - finally visiting the continent for the first time after multiple attempts!
If you're also travelling with a dog, check out my blog, Travelnuity: Dog-Friendly Travel.
My proposal for a new site: Antartica - surely our greatest natural site?
