Seeing parts of the world from home

This map is a personal project reflecting on how my world has become reduced to these little boxes of space, but this map acts as a reminder to what we can do to try to stay calm and find moments of peace during lockdown life.

This map shows my hood and my favourite places around it.

Pune, also called Poona, city, west-central Maharashtra state, western India, at the junction of the Mula and Mutha rivers. Called “Queen of the Deccan,” Pune is the cultural capital of the Maratha peoples. The city first gained importance as the capital of the Bhonsle Marathas in the 17th century. It was temporarily captured by the Mughals but again served as the official Maratha capital from 1714 until its fall to the British in 1817. Pune has long been a major educational and cultural centre. Pune is known for its educational tourism and has a blend of cultural, business, health, cuisine tourism background. The large student population in the city makes for a lively nightlife and vibrant atmosphere. Pune also houses fantastic restaurants, good museums, and hill forts which offer panoramic views. Pune is a gateway to knowledge about the past with opportunities to learn from the help of forts, monuments, museums and higher-learning institutions.

This has to be the longest trip I've ever done! Going from Nicaragua to Australia is quite a long way. My flight plan was initially to go from Managua to Dallas for a 1 night stop-over before heading to Australia. But 12 hours before departure I was notified that the flight was cancelled and that I had to find another way to get to Dallas... That can be challenging when you're in Nicaragua! I managed to get the airline to find me another flight as I had already booked another plane ticket from Dallas to Sydney the next day and they finally booked me on a flight to Miami and then from there to Dallas! The entire trip took me from Managua, to Miami, to Dallas, to Los Angeles and to Sydney and lasted 3 days! You can't imagine how happy I was to finally land and enjoy the sound of the cockatoos and to stroll along the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

This is a road trip across France over 3 days I did last year. I drove from Evian in the French Alps to Castets almost on the West Coast of France to house-sit for 2.5 months in a typical house lost in the middle of a pine forest.I love road trips! I never get bored on the road, I can just stare all day at the landscapes changing along the way. On this occasion I left the mountains, drove by ancient volcanoes, through agricultural lands and wineries to end in the Landes forest near the Atlantic ocean and its long and wild beaches. It was great to experience the different landscapes of my own country and it makes me want to visit more of it and get lost in the small roads in the countryside.

One of the creepiest and also the most interesting bits of human history is the abandonment of man made objects and places when nature takes over. This map illustrates 4 of my favorite abandoned theme parks in 4 different European countries.

Peachtree City was planned to be a community where golf carts would be a norm for transportation, from grocery shopping, to going to school, grabbing a bite to eat, and now driving to your local brewery. It is a unique community, usually referred to as "The Bubble" because it is just that - a unique bubble of a town. Illustrated spots include The Fred Amphitheater, Line Creek Brewing Co., Mule Rock, a sculpture at Line Creek Nature Trail, the many golf courses of PTC, a golf cart bridge, The Avenue shopping center, and Starr's Mill.

Cool places to travel when you visit
