The Artistic Traveler

The Artistic Traveler – from Julia Andrus

Some of us yearn to see far off places, while others of us find the challenges and scenery of every day life adventure enough. Whatever your interests, we are all travelers on this journey of life – and we are traveling together.

My own travel and life adventures, as well as that of many others who have kindly contributed their own real-life experiences, are the inspiration for The Artistic Traveler.

Our goal is to share creative and artistic inspiration from all over the world and hopefully, to make the world feel a little smaller by fostering appreciation and understanding for our cultural and geographic differences.

Although there will certainly be historical and cultural information included; our main goal is to inspire creativity – to exchange something with others that will enrich all our lives with more meaning and beauty.

If you would like to contribute an article, or share your inspirational travel or life experience; and a resulting creation, photo collection, recipe, etc… email us at: inspire@juliaandrus.com. Put “The Artistic Traveler Inquiry” as the subject matter.
