This past week I visited Londan, England. I visited the sights, saw great art, and reflected on how this is the halfway point for my European Adventure.

Scott embarked on a 4 year odyssey from the United States across 5 other continents on a bicycle. I reached out to him via email to share my own travel aspirations and pick his brain about travel. A few emails later and here we are. He’s going to share with you what he learned about the unexpected benefits of travel.

I’ve ventured onto mainland Europe! From bustling Amsterdam to the flowing canals of the countryside, The Dutch know how to go with the flow.

Drawing while traveling can be challenging. Picking a subject, knowing what to bring and most importantly finding the motivation. See what I’ve been drawing while on the move and the materials I use and why.

My base of operations is in the UK! Thanks to the generosity and hospitality of friends Michael and Brian, I am residing in Glasgow, Scotland. My first week and a half have been full of exploring Glasgow’s many churches and museums and getting back into the creative rhythm.
