The places on the map are where I lived and specifically where I spent the bulk of my time. I was truly a small town girl, even though I was living 14,000 miles away from Texas. Naga is my home. The Filipino people are my family. I never forget them. This was a great way to remember my roots.

A quick overview of all the things I like to do in Detroit when I'm home. Since Woodward is the main path for me to get to the city, I used it as the main line of the map. Created for SCAD Visual Design Systems.

Handmade watercolor map of Ecuador, the wonderful country where you can find 4 worlds in one place, Galapagos Islands, Pacific coast, Cordillera de los Andes and Amazon jungle with a lot of natural diversity, ecuadorian roses, amazing amazonian orchids, a huge variety of palm trees and ferns, beautiful animals like Iguanas, Galapagos tortoises, giant shrimps, Guacamayos, Squirrel Monkeys, blue-footed boobies, and also the best bananas and cocoa you can find. Don't forget to try "Bolón" at the coastal region. Ecuador is a landscape full of incredible colors that will captivate you, everywhere you look!

This is my vision of El Puig de Santa Maria, a little town near Valencia, Spain.

I spent many weeks in southern Indian in my youth. In the near future I'd love to spend a month touring the 'golden triangle' taking in the stunning forts and multicoloured old towns. And as a Buddhist I'd love to visit Nepal and discover the history and heritage. Sampling the foods of each country would also be a big high light for me too.

I'm fortunate enough to live close to London and have always enjoyed its delights, from historical, gastronomical, theatrical and musical. I'm hoping that every month throughout 2017 I will submit a map here on TDAC. It will mostly be of world cities but I may go off at a tangent depending on how I feel !
