I started travelling in Europe with the popular Interrail ticket that was valid for most of the Western European countries.
That was more than 30 years ago.And what looked like a normal student experience, turned out to be just the beginning of an incredible lifespan tasting of different countries, cultures,people and cuisines.But it all started with Europe.
1980 I moved my "headquarters" to the Philippines, and started to visit all of Southeast Asia, and its marvelous temples and cultural sites, also in China and the Indian Subcontinent.
Later on ,I visited all countries in Oceania,South America, Central America and the
Carribean. On the African continent I have been to all 54 UN countries, and to many UNESCO world heritage sites that are very difficult to reach, and really off the beaten track.In 80 countries I have now visited all Unesco sites that currently exist, but then in 17 countries I have not seen any yet!! As of January 2024, I have been to 942 sites out of 1198 or around 79% in a total of 149 countries! I keep on going, including the Tentative list (508 so far) if those sites are near my travel path.
My most impressive site: Angkor Wat, Cambodia Lascaux, France Burgos, Spain Wies Church, Germany
My proposal for a new site: Lucerne, Switzerland
