I've been to Paris many times and I'm always amazed by its gentle beauty. There's always so much to explore and a long weekend is never enough to marvel at all of the stunning sites and places to explore, and some delightful food too.

I love this beautiful Greek island, part 1!

I love this beautiful Greek island, part 2!

And I don’t mean tropical! A favourite vacation area, I think we’ve visited here at least 18 times, and it’s always as wonderful as the first visit! If you love & appreciate nature, this us the place to go! Driving the Cabot Trail is a must, and I recommend doing it clockwise & counter-clockwise, the vistas are outstanding! I love exploring Cheticamp Island, and cycling through the cows, watching the cormorants, treking to the sea’s edge, and watching the tolling waves! There is lots of hiking, a beautiful National Park for camping, fresh air & salty seas! We had the once in a lifetime pleasure of being joined on an afternoon kayaking expedition by a pod of pilot whales!

Celtic music & mountins, it’s one of the most beautiful spots in Canada, if you like remote this is the spot & seafood & welcoming islanders, who could say no to that? If you want shopping malls and box stores however, this is not the place for you! this hand-drawn map is just a taste of the beauty & history that awaits you in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia🧜🏼‍♀️

A trip to ICON in Detroit this past July had me look a little deeper at its music history – particularly the soul music that arose in the 1960’s. These are just some of the badass women who's songs that still resonate today – as well as some of the places that gave birth to a vibrant music industry.

I created a Spotify playlist of the artists included in my map, listen here: http://ow.ly/eGhV30lyq0b

Where do the locals spend their free time, go for a walk, relax, sunbathe and bathe, do sports, listen to music, drink beer (na klar!) and wine.

As a Canadian expat living in Cairo, Egypt, I wanted to give viewers a taste of what I think makes this wonderfully chaotic metropolis so unique. I have included both the notable historic landmarks and the obscure, culturally distinctive elements which give Cairo so much character.

I've got a list of lovely green places I want to go on my next England visit! Collage and watercolor create a painted 3 dimensional map of all the verdant, sprouting, grassy, leafy Botanical Gardens to go and see.
