  • Creative Wanderlust Adventure: Finding Stories Everywhere

    Los Angeles is the city of stories. At any given moment, one has to wonder how many writers are working away crafting the next television show or movie plot. On a recent trip to LA, I too was inspired by stories. When I put my mind to it, I could start seeing them everywhere. A person would be walking in front of me down Fairfax… what was their story? I would pass a building on Sunset… what happened there? I would over hear a snippet of a conversation in Beverly Hills… what was on their minds? I soon latched on to my perfect character, in the perfect setting, with a…

  • Los Angeles Illustrated Map by Wanderlust Designer

    On Location: Los Angeles, California

    Los Angeles– the city of Angeles – the place where dreams do come true – la la land… Los Angeles is just, so LA!

Although I do have a bias of which half of the state is “better,” I can truly say that I really do love Los Angeles too. It has such a different attitude than Northern California. It definitely imbibes so much of what “the industry” portrays (the stars, the culture, the trendy scenes) but also has it’s own unique LA flavor in many of the lesser touristy neighborhoods such as Echo Park,…

  • Delicious Delis Across the United States (story and illustration by Wanderlust Designer)

    Culture: Food – Delicious Delis Across the United States

    What defines a truly authentic delicatessen? The concept of a delicatessen dates back to Germany in the 1700’s. It was a place were unusual and foreign prepared foods were made and sold. In the late 1800’s, when a large number of immigrants of Jewish dissent (mostly from German regions) came to the US, they brought the tradition of delicatessens with them. Now over 100 years later, delis are a mainstay in most of our cities and towns. Below are a select few of some of the most famous delis in the US. Katz’s Deli – New York City In 1888, two brothers from Iceland immigrated to the US and started…
