Whenever we’re travelling, a map is always a great addition to any page and story in a travel journal.
Hand-drawn map making has a rich history that stretches back thousands of years. The earliest known hand-drawn maps can be traced to ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. These maps were often stylized and depicted important landmarks, cities, and trade routes.
Hand-drawn maps can provide a unique artistic and personal touch that captures the essence of a place or tells a story in a way that standardized maps cannot. Furthermore, they can convey a sense of place, nostalgia, or creativity that resonates with people differently than digital maps. Their artistic, personal, and customizable nature continues to captivate and provide unique perspectives on our surroundings.
