Claire Ashworth
Heritage writer and world traveller. Makes UNESCO frameworks interesting, which is harder than it sounds.
Claire has visited more World Heritage Sites than most people have heard of and can explain why each one matters without putting you to sleep. She spent a decade writing for international travel publications before settling in Australia, where she now focuses on how global heritage frameworks apply to the places we love to visit.
She breaks down UNESCO selection criteria, governance structures, and conservation politics with the ease of someone who has actually sat through the committee meetings. Smart without being academic. Curious without being superficial.
Her writing makes you feel smarter for having read it, without ever feeling talked down to. If Claire says a site is globally significant, she can tell you exactly why in a way that sticks.
