I like the idea of putting such rather different places like the Galápagos Islands and the Primeval Beech Forests on the one hand, or the Pyramids of Giza and the Struve Geodetic Arc on the other, on the same list!

In this respect it is always exciting to experience a new WHS.

I live in Switzerland in a community that is part of the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona and I used to work for the Rhaetian Railway. Again two very different WHS!

My most impressive site: Galapagos, Taj Mahal, Isfahan, Tikal, Baalbek

My proposal for a new site: Welwitschia Plains
