Travel theme: Paper

I’ve been elbow deep in wrapping paper and have just come up for air…

…to have a look for some paper-filled photos from my travels, starting off with this fabulous newsagents at First and Pike in Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

Out in West Seattle there’s a whole series of murals worth checking out, including this one depicting the frenzy of press day at the West Seattle Herald of yore.

The well-worn pages of a book that accompanied me on my first road trip across America.

A paper dress provides an interesting canvas for budding artists at New York‘s Figment Festival.

The menu in the dining car of the Lake Shore Limited – a throwback to another era – and a welcome respite from a traumatic travel experience.

Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it. – Vincent Van Gogh

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
