I personally LOVE maps, globes, and atlases and not only do I collect them, decoupage and craft with them and have a whole wall dedicated to displaying them in my bedroom but I now found a website that links you to free maps/info about every state- in print sent to your home! I guess we haven’t gone completely technological just yet! 
Remember to only order the maps/guides you’re really interested in and are going to use and try to stay as “green” as possible!
http://www.heyitsfree.net/free-state-maps/
Check out this link above– they have links to tourism websites for every state (not including Washington, DC because it’s not a state I will post a separate link)
http://washington.org/visitor-request-form
that will send you a free travel guide and/or map (sometimes both/several/you can choose by county/area!). The only state that charges a fee is Washington State ($3) but worth it if you’re interested in traveling there/learning more about the state! Most states even offer free educational student resources that can be sent to your home for free as well (always make sure to opt-out of receiving mail from partner companies, though!)
I’m also including some pictures of vintage maps I’ve found on the internet that you can print if you’re a map enthusiast like me!

This video is dedicated to two amazing people who I admire and cherish so much, my parents, Monika and Steve Utrecht. I love you guys. Thank you for always being there for me and continuing to teach me important life lessons every day.

Sun addiction (self-diagnosed)
“I’m desperate to know how you are
I hope you’re deep asleep
I’ve been awake for days
trying to study every inch of your body
in this picture, from a distant day
when I could safely say
nothing in this world could tear me down in any way
But like a dream you disappeared
without a sound, without a trace
Sleep well, darling, wherever you are
I hope that your happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right
Sleep well, darling
I’m desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight
This is for a girl back home
she tore down all my walls
left me for all she had known
but I pushed it all away from me
and no no, even if I knew
even if I knew what to say to you
it’s just to late to make you stay
I’m sick of fighting this broken fate
But someone else gets to tell you
that your beautiful
Sleep well, darling, wherever you are
I hope that your happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right
Sleep well, darling
I’m desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight
It’s the last thing I want
but it’s all that I’ve got
it’s the last thing I need
but I still carry you in my heart
in my heart
It’s the last thing I want
but it’s all that I’ve got
it’s the last thing I need
but I still carry you in my heart
in my heart
Sleep well, darling, wherever you are
I hope that your happy tonight
and maybe you found someone who will love you right
Sleep well, darling
I’m desperate to say now I need you more than ever
but all I could say was goodnight”

“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
― Neil Gaiman
