The best places for coffee in Eskişehir

I was in Bologna last month to visit Bologna Children's Book Fair. It was my third time to visit this beautiful Italian city. I love their stunning porticos, interesting museums, galleries and lovely bookstores. As a book lover, I especially adore Biblioteca Salaborsa, a beautiful library, which has a giant archaeological site beneath your feet you can see through a glass floor. Bologna is also a city for gelato lovers. There are so many great flavors and combinations to try!!!!

Anzio is a seaside fishing town near Rome. It's a well known place for its historical events; Roman Emperor Nerone was born here and the ruins of ist villa are still around the coast. Tourists (and locals too) enjoy the delicious seafood Anzio is famous for. Every day fishing boats bring to the port tons of fishes and other precious delicacies from the sea. And the local restaurants serve the best and most delicious mediterranean meals! And let's not forget Anzio's amazing handmade gelatos! Wish you all to visit beautiful Anzio soon.

Stroll in the sunshine through the quintessentially British spa town of Harrogate. After bargain hunting for antiques in The Montpellier Quarter, take afternoon tea at Betty's historic tea rooms. Don't forget to wave 'Hello' to Tarquin the bulldog as he trundles through Valley Gardens stopping to sniff the flowers. www.katybloss.com

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!

A colourful map showcasing what Whitby, a quaint and pretty town on the North Yorkshire coast has to offer. This map was illustrated as part of the FolioFocus online course.

Created for Folio Focus 10 week portfolio course.

This map is of Hull (UK) marina.

Hull is the 2017 City of Culture and the marina area holds some wonderful events from festivals to street fairs.

Using a simple and bold colour palette I create a fun and vibrant map to celebrate its culture.

I lived in the little city of Dessau in eastern Germany for two years while going to grad school. Along with creating wonderful friendships, I most remember the delicious food, the historical architecture, and the charming rural feel of the surrounding forests.

The road among iconic Cypress Trees leads to the charming village of Bolgheri.

Sometimes you have to leave a place to truly appreciate its unique qualities. It was not until living abroad I started to really see the most fantastic features of my hometown Stockholm, most of which I took for granted when living there. When making my first map ever this was my obvious choice! Being a former archaeologist I wish I could have squeezed in sooo much more! Maybe there will be another one!
