Perhaps a site where you can check off the sites you've been to and it'll display them on a Google Map or something like that.
yes.

Personally...I am ranked much higher on the UN W/H list than the country list.

Of all locations - ranked around 1500. UN W/H rank - around 700. Top 400 for my age range.

but...MTP beyond a certain point is somewhat meaningless....for --

the true voyage of discovery is not in going to new places, but in seeing with new eyes - Marcel Proust

that's what I think anyway...lots of sites are just the same thing over and over....lots of unique sites are not world heritage.

many places I've been to recently over the last couple of years are "locations" I've already been to, so haven't added to my count in any meaningful way.
But going to these areas to visit specific places / cities that I haven't been to before.

A more interesting checklist might be focusing on unique definable places.
