The flowers and leaves in all the illustrations are from many different places. Some of the flowers in this illustration are from my favorite place on earth: the Alcázar in Sevilla, Spain. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited, and it also has tremendous sentimental value for me. I visited it on my first solo trip abroad. While there, it was the first time in my life I thought: Maybe I actually can make my dreams of traveling/living/settling down abroad come true. At the time, those felt like tremendous, impossible dreams.
