replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. Closest to home, I visit the Jurassic Coast quite often to dive or go sailing, as well as hunt for fossils. My favourites are the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in Belize, where I learned to dive + Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland #PTTravel

replying to @1000Fights @1000Fights I definitely want to get to Yellowstone National Park. Do you have any photos? Are you keeping them for Q3?! #PTTravel

Q2 Do you travel specifically to see these sites or are they just part of your trips? Are they easy to add into a trip and why/why not?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Thanks Kate. The end of the holiday is dribs and drabs of work to get ready as both Jim and I lead rather large teams. But with yoga, buying hamsters, going for walks etc. I am excited though as it seems I may be able to actually teach a class in Sept! #pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: I don't travel specifically to them because they're UNESCO listed. In fact, I usually don't realise that they are.
I just go cos I hear or read about them, and they sound good/interesting/pretty.

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie @NomadKeith i rarely have it. But it's my drink of choice for standing on the terraces at watching non-league football matches in the afternoon twilight when it's feckin' cold in mid-January! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. Yosemite National Park and Guanacaste (Costa Rica) come to mind. The beauty of both places is staggering. #pttravel

A2 #PTTravel Almost always it’s part of the trip. One of the exceptions was Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. I did make a point to see it.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A1: I've been to 16+2 from those lists. Most recommended: Yellowstone for colours and wildlife, Dolomites for best views. I found Komodo a bit disappointing as it's almost like going to the zoo.

Had to travel to the other side of the world to see the lagoon of #NewCaledonia - but when I did I was treated to dazzling performance by some #humpback #whales visiting #PTTravel A2

A2 #PTTravel Usually, if an organised tour has a Heritage Site on the itinerary, I'll choose that over one that hasn't
However, there are those who say you can't, for example, go to Brazil without seeing the Iguassu Falls.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Go for it! There’s a pandemic on, and if M&Ms cheer you up, do it and enjoy every single one. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #A2 #PTTravel From 2012 onwards I specifically travel to see all the UNESCO sites in any country I visit. I usually prefer long trips and pinning the UNESCO sites gives a perfect route to understand the history and culture of the region

@kate_frankie A1: We have visited quite a few UNESCO world heritage sites. #Galapagos #Quito #Acropolis #Delos #LeMorne #ChichenItza #Stonehenge to name a few.
#Galapagosislands is one of the more magic places on this earth and we highly recommend visiting. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel I would agree with this. We look at what's around and what would be good - often that does coincide with a UNESCO WH site. Tbh we do use the top 500 places to travel and atlas oscura more🤣🤣
kate_frankie
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Yes, I think you mentioned that. On the huge list for me #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @NomadKeith I can't dive due to ear problems. I do like snorkeling and it would be great to get back one day #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel A2: some of them I specifically travelled to, but not because of their UNESCO status. But I think all were part of a bigger trip. The one that's definitely worth their own trip is Yellowstone, although I combined it with 2 weeks on a working ranch in Wyoming.

A1 I've been to 13 on the list. Yellowstone has just so many stunning experiences and is probably one of the more accessible on the list particularly from the UK #PTTravel
