Where We Walk: A metaphorical mind map of life's journey

Downtown Cleveland is full of architectural gems and the city is surrounded by historic and cozy neighborhoods.

I must be missing Germany! We had such a beautiful couple of years exploring the region. The wine, the pretzels, the bear gardens.. sigh. I miss travel big time!!

I’ve mapped where Dante and I go on our almost daily COVID 19 walks. With my iPhone in hand, I’ve documented most of our walks that’s full of botanicals on my personal home life IG @DanteMom. The walks is a chance for Dante and me to bond. I’ve called it daily homeschooled field trips on foot. The orange dotted line walk takes us approximately 30 minutes to walk with only 4500 steps on average. Hope you enjoy our neighborhood walk to the Westlake area in Daly City, California!

This place is special to me because, it is the small, charming part of the city I like to escape to. There are no motor vehicles allowed so everybody is walking or cycling. As a kid, I practiced my bike riding skills here, in my teen years I used to visit the beaches and the parks with friends, as an artist I still like to take inspiration from the buildings and streets. I enjoy the sights, history and multicultural elements. The Istanbul Biennale usually takes place on locations listed here on the map. Sometimes I like to sail here or just take the ferry for 30 minutes to enjoy some fresh seafood. There are many things to explore and enjoy when you visit the Büyükada in Istanbul.

My map is part of a walk in Clitheroe that I often do in summer with my dog, it's great to see the changes, especially in the allotments as the seasons go by.

This place is special to me because it makes me smile... I was lucky to spend part of my young life in Rome, Italy. Through High School, my best friend Bibi and I would walk to school together wandering through the splendor of the Roman Forum, taking small paths though the ruins. Of course, being a teen, I was not fully aware of the beauty of it all, but I was focused catching up on our feelings about life, love and homework... (and saying hi to the Forum cats, of course!). I went back as an adult and I was blown away by the rich history and amazing-ess of this spot in Rome.

A map of the route I walk in my neighborhood and the interesting things I see.

This is a map of my 15 year old dog Katy's favorite walks, as well as some places to get tasty dog/human treats. We've kept our girl healthy with daily walking.
When people ask us where we're from, we say "Lawrence f-ing Kansas!" with a lot of pride, and "LFK" bumper stickers and t-shirts are everywhere. Lawrence is a cool place to live.

The charming town of Stratford-Upon-Avon is the birthplace of Shakespeare and home to many historic buildings. Take a walking tour to see these important sights! Spring is a wonderful time to visit as many beautiful bulbs are in bloom!

I love walking over the heath, via one of the cafes for a warm cup of coffee.

A few places in my hometown, Tucson, AZ, that offer great opportunities for exploration!
