The post Chelsea Dickenson is Helping People Plan Their Holidays for Cheap appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Unlike most travel bloggers, Dickenson’s love for travel hasn’t always been a part of her life. She only started traveling during her early twenties, when she finally managed to save enough money to get away on city breaks for the first time.
She decided to start documenting her travels in 2017, after kicking off a challenge where she would see how many holidays she could book for half the price the average Brit spends in a year. This was the start of a great adventure that eventually led to Dickenson becoming one of Instagram’s most popular budget-friendly travel bloggers, with almost 400,000 followers under her belt on this platform alone.
Even after becoming a bonafide social media superstar, Dickenson still remains committed to promoting cheap travel. You’ll find many tried and tested travel hacks and tips on her blog, along with detailed step-to-step guides and breakdowns of her travel expenses that can help you plan your own travel budget with ease.

]]>Hero is still in her early 20s, but that didn’t stop her from following her dreams of exploring the world. She was born in Finland, but her journey took her to almost 50 countries, after the time she spent as an exchange student in Australia and New Zealand awakened her passion for traveling the world.
After coming to terms with the fact she wants travel to be a major part of her life, Hero decided to enroll in a fully online program and pursue her degree in business administration while traveling the world. She’s doing all this while building a successful career as a content creator, with 240,000 Instagram followers under her belt.
One of the reasons why so many people are obsessed with Hero’s content is her realistic approach to traveling and her focus on budget-friendly trips. She found viral fame with her “best places to visit when you’re young and broke” series, where she lists all the expenses of exploring affordable destinations that you can visit without spending a fortune.

]]>Artist Me Kyeoung Lee has spent most of the past two decades capturing the vibe of Korean convenience stores in her drawings. Made with colored pens, these drawings show the stores in their full beauty and serve as an invitation for the viewer to visit them and enjoy their aesthetics in person.
Most of the convenience stores shown in Lee’s drawings are actual places she encountered during her travels throughout the country. She hopes that her art will help people appreciate them more, considering that the number of these stores is on the decline due to the increasing presence of store chains and modern establishments that are taking their place.
“So it became not important for me that the place where the store located, what the store is selling, the time when the store is going to be removed, or whether the store is monumental or not,” she shares on her website. “The small store which I draw only keeps warmness inside of my heart without holding bleak air or damp moisture, even if it is raining or snowing, or darkness is coming.”

]]>Pittana and Pitteri work together on a project that tells the story of Venice from an innovative point of view. Pittana is an architect and she’s behind the photographic part of the project, while Pitteri, a graphic designer, creates gorgeous patterns inspired by her colleague’s photos.
“We love Venice in all its forms. We like historical Venice, under the eyes of all but above all the contemporary and constantly evolving one… the one that deserves to be discovered and valued,” the artists told Tra Realta e Sogno in an interview. They find inspiration in everything the city has to offer, from its rich history to new things that appear every day, especially the independent bookstores.
Scroll down to see some of their patterns and follow the project’s Instagram page for more. There’s also an online shop where you can buy their art.

]]>But his map series began fairly traditionally. “The whole series started with the Portland map,” he explained once in an interview with the Ohh Deer blog. “Portland is a pretty geniusly designed city with very simple radial divisions. There were a few unclear things in my mind, so I made a map to help me explain the city as a whole. Just a few lines and some circles.”
#Malibu #MalibumapAccording to the designer, his maps’ minimalist aesthetic draws from his experience as a letterpress printer, relying upon type and lines. “I actually have no formal graphic design training which shows when I try to do things like make a catalog or design a webpage,” he notes, incredibly. “I would never get hired as a designer. Everything I learned is from type-setting in letterpress printing, which is a totally antiquated (went out of style in the 1950’s), and in hindsight, was probably a waste of time.”
With a cult following online, Archambault’s maps prove that even when there’s no place to travel to, we can always rely on our creative spirit and imagination.

]]>“One of my inspirations for this project came from Tibetan Buddhist Sand Mandalas, which act as a map of the cosmos and represent the impermanent nature of our existence,” the artist shared with Bored Panda. “For my Urban Mandalas, pixels take the place of sand and symbolize the idea that everything is connected—all is one and one is all.”
Amsterdam, Reykjavik, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, etc. are just some of the cities Peterson turned into a kaleidoscope.
We really enjoyed browsing through his Instagram page and we believe that you will enjoy it, too. Follow him for future updates.

]]>Having lived a number of years in Botswana and Zimbabwe, Nicholls is wholly inspired by the African wilderness, with almost all of her paintings and sketches revolving around African wildlife. As such, her creative process includes conservation sketching expeditions, which allows her to visit African conservation organizations, sketch on-site and learn in detail about conservation issues.
According to Nicholls, while her studio paintings consist of multiple layers, her sketches require confidence and speed. “I usually work in pencil or pen first, then add watercolor,” she explains on her website. “I don’t have an easel or a chair because I usually stand when sketching people, or need to be in a vehicle when sketching wildlife,” she notes.
An added bonus to her work is that it raises awareness and funds for conservation organizations. Nicholls explains that with each sale of her work, she makes a donation to various organizations. “It can be a real challenge to depict complex issues like the human-wildlife conflict in a painting,” she goes on to say, adding that the layers of color add to the layers of meaning and vice versa.
