I wanted to explore travel illustration a little further so I participated in a Skillshare Class with Esther Nariyoshi in illustrating a boarding pass! Unable to travel and with the British weather being drizzly, I often dream about being back in Kwazulu Natal. 13 years ago I flew to Durban (where my mum was born) to visit her side of the family. We went to Durban, Zululand and Umhlanga Rocks, where we stayed at Game Reserves, Hotels and my great uncle's farm.

With the sunshine, sea, music, and art, my happy place is the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. Can you feel the breeze on the flags and hear the ringing of the church bell?

I love to bike ride through Crissy Field. It is definitely one of my happy places. I love the plentiful, free parking. I love rolling down the bright green grassy hills with my kids. I love visiting The Warming Hut Bookstore & Cafe, waving to the seabirds at Torpedo Wharf, and then hitting the San Francisco Bay Trail on a bicycle.

I lose all track of time creating...sewing, drawing, painting, miniatures, etc.!

Here’s another one of my happy places of late ... it has everything I love: nature, water, walking trails, places to eat and drink! You can even walk to the edge of the water and put your feet in or go on a cruise and have lunch. Best of all is the kiss statue called “Unconditional Surrender” which portrays a sailor who has come home after victory in World War II kissing a nurse and is based on a famous photo taken of the real life pair - so romantic!

This is inspired by my love of the Taiwanese riverside in the summer. I hope you enjoy.

At the world’s only botanical garden dedicated to the display and study of epiphytic orchids, bromeliads, gesneriads and ferns, and other tropical plants, I learn so much about Florida gardening and see all the happy plants that are well cared for here! All of the colors, greenery, scents, sounds, and lush atmosphere fill me with joy. For me, there’s no better place to be outside than in a garden, and this is my garden away from my garden.

Cubbon Park is a favourite for the city dwellers for its open space, greenery and proximity to the cbc.. it’s also a regular haunt for the Urbansketching community in Bengaluru as it has some really nice buildings within its limits.. I share an option here for a casual Sunday stroll..

This is a map of my favorite food and beverage places in Michigan City, Indiana, and nearby New Buffalo, Michigan. It's the perfect locale for a weekend getaway, or a longer stay.

A small part of Singapore where old trees and houses can be found.

A long trip I did to go back home.
