The journey to Elephanta Island, also called Gharapuri, situated few kms off the eastern coast of Mumbai.

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.

A train ride from a small farmhouse up to the highest railway station in Europe.

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 !

This is a trail of my illustrated journeys. :)

Rathtrevor Beach on Vancouver Island is a fantastic family-friendly camping spot. There are many local attractions within one hour of nearby Parksville (where you can pick up extra ice for the cooler or groceries, just a five minute drive from the campsite).

Being prepared and having an optimistic attitude are highly recommended for a successful family winter camping experience. This map is inspired by that time I was convinced to spend two night in a quinzee with my boys. You can visit my new blog to see more of the story!

I grew up in New York. The *other* New York - the vast expanse of farmland and wilderness that comprises almost everything outside New York City. The town I grew up in, in Fulton County (just northeast of the counties on the map), was the center of the leather and glove making industry during World War II and into the 1950s and '60s. I always assumed that the Leatherstocking Region took its name from the leather trade. However, instead it comes from James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, a series of books that includes The Last of the Mohicans.

At Camden Lock Market you will find a wide range of food stalls with street food of the finest kind from all over the world next to the Regent's Canal.

Do some self-guided London sightseeing tour by using London's own transport system, passing many tourist attractions as Trafalgar Square or Victoria Palace Theatre by bus. At Westminster Pier get on board at River Thames bus service. You can see London's famous landmarks as Big Ben, London Eye, St Pauls Cathedral, the Tower and the Tower Bridge from the water. From Tower Gateway you can take DLR train, which is an automated light metro system. The trains are fully controlled by computer. Take a place in front where normaly the driver is sitting and enjoy an unusual trip with a marvelous view on the Docklands and Canary Warf until you reach Greenwich!
