Sacred Places
From Varanasi, one of the world's oldest continually inhabited places to the ancient temples of Bagan in Myanmar and an unforgettable sunrise at Turkey’s Nemrut Dagi.
For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to these mystical places, before the days of the internet I loved to browse Lonely Planet travel guides for the world’s most adventurous and hard-to-reach locations, always dreaming about how to get there.
