The coast of British Columbia is a beautiful, lively place full of movement and nature! Hand-lettered title :)

Some historical high lights and facts about this small market town

From my recent business trip to Zurich during a heat wave I visited some of my favorite spots, including a dip in the lake!

My favorite place on earth, located in the Manistee National Forest in Northern Michigan.

At the beginning of the summer, my friends and I took an amazing trip to Big Bend National Park. It was a short visit, but definitely one I’ll never forget. I knew pretty quickly that celebrating the natural beauty of my home-state had to be the direction I took with this map!

This is my map of Southern Ireland and some of its key points I visited and enjoyed! It is a wonderful green wonderland and it is definitely worth visiting and staying! I hope you enjoy my rendition.

Main gardens and parks wonderful in spring.
I couldn't resist to present them because it's spring time so the good moment for a visit !

This map was created as part of a California Road Trip book. To see the whole book, visit my website: www.marielcartin.com

“Alligator Alley” (Formally known as Interstate 75) is a controversial road built in 1968 connecting the east and west coasts of Florida. The controversy originates from the fact that it cuts directly through the Everglades. While there are some bridges and tunnels to help wildlife pass through the road safely, I-75 attracts the local alligator population to the traffic with its warm pavement and convenient placement.

A map I created to show the world some of the beautiful things we have in Venezuela!

The Schuylkill River is know for its history, outdoor activities, and close proximity to the city of Philadelphia. I know it from the biased angle of practicing boating sports on the river itself.

My family and I have been visiting Wolf Rock and Chimney rock for years - even before I could make the hike myself! (That's me in the backpack)

If anyone is in the northwestern Maryland are, they should check out the mountain park. It's free and the hike loop is a great time!
