Hi all,

I'm Lucy, a recent grad from the University of Maryland's landscape architecture program. I just completed a 7-month internship at EDSA, saved up some money, and have since set off on an 8-month, solo, low-carbon adventure across North America using public transportation. Along the way, I plan to visit award-winning landscape architecture sites, pick apart the features of a successful city, and navigate the often scarce and confusing public transit web of a car-loving nation. I'm currently in Cleveland, OH and my one-month travel mark is coming up in a week.

Since I scoured land8lounge's forum history during my planning stages to find places to visit (found some really great places from there), I wanted to share my blog to the forum too. I've also come across threads that call for a comprehensive landscape architecture map which have helped inspire my own version of a landscape architecture map. I hope you find it useful! And I could always use recommendations for landscape architecture sites too!

My blog: www.landscapevoice.com

The travel map: http://landscapevoice.com/landscape-architecture-travel-map

Tumblr: http://landscapevoice.tumblr.com/

Cities I have travelled to thus far: Toronto, ON; Niagara Falls, ON; Niagara Falls, NY; State College, PA (to review PSU's program); Pittsburgh, PA; Cleveland, OH. I'm going to Ann Arbor, MI and Detroit, MI next.

That is a really great blog!  Thank's for sharing and hope the rest of the trip goes well.  What a great idea...

P.S.  I love Pittsburgh.

You've got a lot to see on the West Coast! Hopefully you will have time for San Deigo all the the way north to Vancouver!

I went to San Diego when the ASLA conference was there last year, so it's not in my plans again...but I will be passing through cities between (and including) Los Angeles and Vancouver!

Lucy, you're awesome!  Let us know when you're in the Bay Area... :)

Sounds fun.
