During 40 years of travel and living abroad I have been lucky enough to visit over 120 countries, some 220 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 100 of the World Heritage Cities. As a freelance photo-journalist, I had numerous travel articles and photographs published and syndicated around the world in traditional media; before entering the Internet medium, in 1996. Travel Notes was founded in 1997, to ambitiously cover every country in the world.
