World Wonders

While there are many lists that cover wonders of the world compiled to catalogue the world’s most spectacular natural wonders and manmade structures, we have decided to use The Hillman Top 100 World Wonder List as our launching pad before we create our own list of wonders to see as we travel more. Howard Hillman, is a Harvard graduate, author in travel, food, and wine expert and he offers his lists of the top 100 and 1,000 wonders of the world initially created by him, later agreed by committee. It is the world’s most comprehensive, best-researched travel wonder listing. Below are the places we have visited.
