♥ the traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

i am currently reading and loving john steinbeck's travels with charley, 

a slim novel which chronicles the author's adventures across the united states

with his trusty french poodle, a type writer and a hunger for the open road.

in it, he meanders down secondary roads, finds reasons to make small talk in 

diners, gets completely lost all of the time, eavesdrops on everyone in search of

 different examples of dialect, and takes note of everything awe-inspiring

and wonder-ful. 

in a similar manner, artist, chandler o'leary shares her journeys on her blog,

drawn the road again, except instead of writing down what she sees,

she paints it in her trusty moleskin instead. LOVE!!
