Aside from being an avid traveler and urban explorer, my roommate and host guests often in our apartment. Commonly our guests are Couchsurfers and they have landed from some foreign local with very little money and lots of curiousity. We invariably start sketching hand maps and making lists of must sees while in LA.
As I delve deeper into creating LA-centric maps, I've come across a wealth of information and ideas. There are so many curious and adventurous types in this weird city.
Here's a map that I've drawn for a birthday outing I'm having with friends this weekend. Instead of sending a recap email of the agenda, I drew a map!
I created this trifold brochure guide to Paris after I studied there for six months in 2008. Scores of friends have been the recipient of the guide and it's been quite gratifying to share my love of the city.
