For those intimidated by the uncertainty of travel, O'Leary also includes travel tips, packing lists and city guides for West-Coast adventures through the California-Oregon-Washington corridor. --Weekly Volcano Praise for Chandler O'Leary and DrawnTheRoadAgain.com: Nobody is clear on the exact ratio of picture-to-words worthiness--some estimates have it as high as 1:1000--but it's hard to argue that your average travel writer could capture the essence of a place as well as Chandler O'Leary does with her . . . watercolor artwork. --Fast Company O'Leary has a unique perspective on the sense of discovery in the journey as well as the destination. --Atlas Obscura
