A professional travel writer discusses the power of travel and spatial design in relation to self-healing. In a personal memoir, she outlines how her love of Travel and Architecture helped her overcome grief and despair. Confronted with her brother's suicide, life threatening illness and her father's passing, she discovers that Travel & Architecture, inviting spaces, well-designed buildings, and sense of place can transform our outlook and heal us. This is one woman's powerful formula for survival - a long ocean voyage, a meander through an ancient ruin, a cup of coffee in a luxurious interior, a picnic in the park or a walk in the soft hills of the Costa d'Almafi You become the traveller, the dreamer and the artist, and are called to explore the power of architectural imagination. This thoughtful book, much more than travel essay, educates the reader about the value of spatial sensitivity in a changing world. Enjoy a journey of description and metaphor to warm the heart and call home the soul: Venice in the summer; Florence at Easter; Casablanca on a warm day Learn to armchair travel. Turn your life around with a little travel copy and the power of your imagination Jessica Syme has included her delicate watercolour illustrations in this colour volume.
