A project for Rebecca Bradley's maps class at MICA. York has a lot of cool history associated with it, from Roman emperors to marauding Viking armies to legendary highwaymen!

Some of the most needed Czech phrases if you're going to visit Prague just for a weekend :)

The famous university town of Oxford is a wonderful place to visit. Here are a few of my favorite things to do there. The many (free!) museums are excellent places to spend some time, and if the weather is jolly then a trip to the botanic garden or a boat ride on the river Isis is a great idea. If you'd like to read the accompanying article to this illustration you can find it at theweekendguide.com :)

Downtown and the Fortress of Suomenlinna

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 !

Did you know that the wise men didn't show up until almost 2 years after Jesus was born? Also, in the way back days, people kept animals in the bottom floor of their homes. I sure learned a lot while researching the Christmas Nativity.

I hand drew this piece with watercolors and ink pens. On the left half of this piece is a geometrically designed map of Poland. In the middle is the flag of Poland. The right half of the piece has four places that are important to me. The names are written in both English and Polish, and beside them are descriptions of why they are important to me. This piece represents my heritage and origins because I am the only member of my family who was not born in Poland and most of my family still lives there.

Hanoi is fascinating. Lots of lovely old buildings, parks, lakes, and great shopping! The water puppet show is really worthwhile and fun. The puppets are super cute! Hanoi is one of the best cities for coffee lovers. They have lovely cafes on every corner!

An illustrated map of Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare's town of birth in England.

I moved from the US to Oxford last year and I am still in love with all the beautiful buildings, the many museums and the culture in a bike friendly and walkable city.
