This area is a part of Macau Old Town which shows you some special food and historic building when you visiting those streets ‘Rua do Guimarães, Rua de Cinco de Outubro, Rua das Estalagens, Rua da Madeira and Rua dos Ervanários”.

SO MANY cups of coffee. And a few other sources of physical, mental, and artistic nourishment. (Items on this map are not placed geographically!)

The Cinque Terre, (Five Lands) is a rugged portion of coast on the Ligurian Sea. So called because comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The surrounded land and the villages are National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the past was possible to reach the villages only by boat, from the harbors of La Spezia and Portovenere.

Map of places that I have visited or lived and the awesome chocolate, candy and brownies that I would recommend. My all time favorite will always be Lore's Chocolate in Philadelphia. They are family owned and make their own candy. I always buy my Easter candy there and the peanut butter eggs are to die for. However, those Fat Witch brownies are amazing, too!
This map is a combination of mixed media and collage.
Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day!

A map of another of my favourite motorcycle routes, through the rural Ottawa Valley. I’m freezing here in winter & dreaming of hot summer days, and we are blessed to have some fine craft breweries that feature fine food, and a couple of great music venues to finish up the day! Not to worry, just a taste of the brew, never ride or drive under the influence, but it feels great to sit on a patio and sip a cold beverage! after riding on the roads beside the rivers, smelling that fresh air, and taking in the scenery! and then, taking in some live music at one of the local venues! This map combines all the things I LOVE about Summer...can’t wait for its’ return! This is my first digital map, done using procreate!

The flavor map was made to show the companies of Caracol Chocolates. Drawing made with graphite, scanned and colored in Photoshop.

Wine Country, the Gem of Northern California

This summer I went to New York for the first time. I spent 6 lovely days with my family, mainly on the Lower East Side. We had the best vegan food ever and I just can’t wait to go back and explore some more!

Eagle Rock is located in Northeast Los Angeles. The influx of food places attracts many to the downtown area where Eagle Rock Blvd and Colorado Blvd intersect. Here is a map of some food places I would recommend as an Eagle Rock resident of 26 years.

The highlight of my days in K-town

Our Village of Patchogue, NY, started a new pub style crawl last year, where instead of a bar hopping crawl for alcohol, crawlers are treated to breakfast creations such as Chicken Waffle Meatballs and Creme Brûlée Fireball French Toast. All I have to say is OMG. This is a map of Breakfast Crawl #5 coming up this Saturday, October 7, 2017.
