One of my favorite travel memories is a hiking trip I did through the Greek Islands. While it's hard to choose a favorite stop, Naxos might be it. From the amazing seafood and beaches to it's impressive mountainous terrain and mythological importance, Naxos is a spot worth adding to your dream destinations.

Oia (pronounced eea) is a beautiful coastal town on the Greek island of Santorini. Known for its wonderful blue and white buildings along with awe inspiring sunsets but did you know about the windmills & wild cats? A place I’d love to visit to see for myself.

This map shows where in Greece some of the most famous Greek myths took place. Greece is a big country with so many islands. I thought it would be nice to be able to place those myths on a map. I chose to create a colorful map because Greek myths are often very passionate, colorfully and flamboyant! It can be nice, while visiting actual Greece, to remember where some of the most famous of its myths took place.

Perched on a rock in the sea, explore the narrow alleyways of this fascinating town in the Peloponnese. It has all the things I adore: sea views, charming architecture and no cars!

My ultimate bucket list of things to do and places to visit in Greece!

Travelers who go on solo adventures often talk about how empowered they feel when they return from a trip. They usually come back a new person with a fresh perspective on life. Solo travel represents freedom, independence, and of course wanderlust. As part of Illustrator’s Circle, I wanted to bring a series of solo traveller illustration.

A magical place where age evaporates

My favourite place to go is always open, easy to get to and there is plenty to do!! Welcome to My Imagination - Home of Endless Possibilities!! Relax, get comfy and stay awhile - the view is pretty memorable!!

Detroit holds so many special memories for me, and it is definitely my happy place! I went to college in Detroit, and met so many diverse and incredible people from all walks of life while exploring downtown. From the incredible food to the numerous galleries and venues, it is a city that you could spend days exploring and still not find all of the hidden gems in it. I adore my city and to see it being a place of growth and a thriving source of creativity makes me so grateful to live here and feature it as my happy place.

Queen Bee Coffee Shop has become such a happy place for me.

Alicia and Micah are so welcoming, so nice, and SO supportive of the local community - including my own ways of trying to give back! I've asked a few places over the years about starting a Drawing Club for kids, and have gotten mixed responses that have all ended up as thanks but no thanks.

When I suggested it to Alicia and Micah last year, it was an instant yes. Bring it on, let these kids come to a free drawing night once a month, do what you need to do. I heart these people so much because they just make Queen Bee Coffee Shop feel like home to me!

If you've been to Queen Bee Coffee Shop in the square in McDonough, Georgia, can you find all the bits and pieces of Queen Bee I worked into this piece?

Although we are Floridians, my family and I live in the middle of the state so a beach vacation is definitely my happy place. The combination of sun, salt water and sand leaves me relaxed and happy. For my kids, the highlight was taste-testing every doughnut shop within a five-mile radius. Ormond Beach is 15-minutes to the north of the its more famous neighbor, Daytona Beach.

Finally visited a bookstore again in person, and it makes me very happy! Obligatory stops include the English language section, new German titles, children's books and the art supply section.
