highlights

I put together this part of the website to highlight some of the amazing things I was able to see and experience during my time in Europe. The lists include 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 14 world class museums (11 of which I got to see their collections) and 35 of the most prominent architects whose buildings I got to see first hand. I visited the majority of the UNESCO sites as well as the museums during the month of March. Not a bad list considering I was only there for four months.
