Places I like to go around NTUA when I was a student there, in Banciao, Taipei, Taiwan.

Some of these businesses have been around for over 100 years! These are portraits of the owners. They tend to their shops daily and if you stop in, you'll probably see them!

You could literally spend all day enjoying this ride. There are countless places to stop and take pictures, eat lunch, have a drink, and soak up the sun! (And you can rent bikes at the Santa Monica Pier!)

I'm preparing for a research trip in spring 2012 to study seabirds and living environments in some of the Scottish Isles. This is for a graphic novel I'm working on: a fairy tale about a special relationship between a girl and an unusual bird for the area: a swan. TDAT gave me the perfect excuse to plan my route.

Just some of the things you'll see when you visit the city where Tony Bennett left his heart.

Inspired by this news story ( http://tinyurl.com/clu5jgp ) about a wolf that has gone wandering.

The long stretch of I-40 through the Arizona and New Mexico desert is a trip into America’s great cultural dumping ground.

This bicycle route follows the Deerfield River through a beautiful valley in Northern Massachusetts and Southern Vermont. If you go on a hot summer day you'll see lots of people tubing down the river, which, I must admit, is an even better way to enjoy this route!

My second hometown!!
