The 100 WondersProjectSearch

Alex’s journey to 100

Eighty-five seen.
Fifteen still calling.

My project record stood at 85 of the 100 wonders visited on 13 September 2026. The list below reflects the October 2026 swap: Belize Barrier Reef is now number 99 and is still to discover. The total remains 85 visited and 15 still to explore.

The list is a beginning.

I’ve travelled to over 100 countries, but there is still a remarkable variety of experiences ahead: the ice of Antarctica, gorillas in their forest habitat, Pacific isolation and the reefs of Raja Ampat.

This page records progress. Personal travel accounts and photographs will appear when there is a real story to share.
