In this week's installment of Design To Go, Diane Burk travels to Greece, visiting Athens, Crete and Thessaloniki. At the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, Greece lies on the Balkan Peninsula and shares borders with Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey. It is widely considered the place where Western Civilization originated and the birthplace of Western democracy and philosophy.

This informal design blog began as I departed for a year-long, around-the-world trip in October 2016. As well as a personal gap year, this travel time allows me to take a professional design sabbatical, following more than 30 years as a Graphic Designer/Art Director in the museum design world. "Design To Go" is a casual record of my design-related findings on the road, likely to be eclectic, various and somewhat random. Some of the things I come across that stimulate my design thinking might be of interest to others. My goal is to return to San Francisco in October 2017 inspired with fresh perspectives and energized to restart my design career. In design, anything is possible!
