I’ve long loved this cartoon from Toothpaste for Dinner – so true, right?
Happy travels this weekend!

On the topic of maps
I’ve been seriously intrigued by Maptia for the past couple of months. Launching in the next couple of months, Maptia’s goal is to be a beautiful, interactive map that users can be inspired by and record their own adventures. Fingers crossed that it’s up and running in time for my upcoming Vietnam adventure…

Get out the map
When I finished grad school, I knew that I wanted to travel before starting a full time job. After convincing my parents that it was the right thing for me to do (they wanted me to start my career right away; I made a PowerPoint presentation to convince them otherwise), off to Europe I went.
Though portions of my trip were solo, I did meet up with a friend in Berlin. It turned out to be one of my favourite cities that I’ve ever visited, and one I hope to return to.
I loved this map of Berlin by French designer Armelle Caron the moment I saw it. The left shows the true layout, and the right a linear alignment of the city.
