Somehow I have a special connection with maps. Maybe it's because I like to travel and explore. Even when sitting behind my pc in a small room I wanna get the feeling that 'there is more out there'. And working on maps is one way to convince you of that :-)

A simplified version of that map can still be found on the Vlaanderen vakantieland site.

The second example was made for the Weekendesk.be website. It's part of a search engine where you can select several items on the page (including the country and place on the map) to select possible destinations:
