Welcome to Chrissie’s World Heritage Blog

In this blog, I write about my travels to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The idea that cultural and natural heritage needs to be preserved and kept accessible is very important, in my opinion; I would like to help spread the word about those sites and hopefully my impressions can motivate readers to visit and contribute to help preserve heritage sites. Please find more info on my About-page. I hope you enjoy this blog!
(The blog is still under construction, please excuse the limited contents at this stage.)
