And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me. That’s where I first lived on my own, went to University, met my husband, and I just loved that city. Plus, it has the best spaghetti restaurant ever, Spageddy Eddy’s!”). Congrats! And for everyone else, scroll down to the contest entry details for a sweet little discount the Wallpapered folks added for everyone.
One look at Pinterest and I don’t feel quite so alone in my fascination with maps. So to everyone else out there who digs a little cartography in their design, hold on to your seats. This week the people behind Wallpapered are giving one of you a nice big 8ft x 5ft world map wallpaper kit so that you can add a map-tastic mural to your home. As much as I love the various world map styles they offer, the coolest feature (at least to me) is that you can also get custom area map wallpaper that basically zooms into a postal code of your choosing. So you could order custom wallpaper showcasing your favorite big city – or even the small town that you grew up in.

Dacyl Armendariz says
WORLD ME!
I currently live in Austin, TX and after moving away for college and coming back, then moving away for a job and returning home once again, I can tell you that it’s my favorite place in the whole world. I’d love an Austin, TX map wall. Pick me!
Allison Stimmel says
WORLD ME!
Bar Harbor, Maine!
Jeremy says
WORLD ME!
Maybe Baltimore, MD which is more or less where I’ve lived my whole life, or Easton, MD (small town) where I more or less grew up. Definitely somewhere in Maryland would be my choice though!
Whitney says
WORLD ME!
My favorite place is Champery, Switzerland. I went there when I was 17, and every morning I’d get a crepe from the shop run by a 90-year-old woman. Then I’d get to explore the mountains all day long! I even had my first kiss there. :)
Debbie Coberly says
WORLD ME!
San francisco bay area, especially the coast.
Stephanie says

I have a soft spot in my heart for the great state of Michigan.
Jess says
World me!!!
Love my beautiful state of Virginia!
Wren says
WORLD ME!
I’m enamoured with world maps! I like looking at all the places I’ve been only to realize its just a teeny tiny bit of the world and there are so many more places to go.
Stephanie says
World me! Either my hometown or where I went to college…. Go gators!
ALisya says
WORLD ME! Kuching is where I grew up, but my homes are a toss up between Duesseldorf and London. Both of which I miss greatly from my student days and am constantly homesick for!
littleoakcreations says
WORLD ME!
Chicago – That’s where my (now) husband took me on a surprise trip and we got engaged!
Rachel says
WORLD ME! There are two. The little village in England that I grew up in, and the city in England I met my now husband and gave birth to my first child in. Now we live in the States, they are the two places I know I have left a piece of my heart.
Anissa says

WORLD ME! Washington state, love it and miss it
Amber B. says
WORLD ME!
I loved traveling to Rome and Florence.
Autumn says
WORLD ME please!!! :-)
Vital info: I was born and raised in Central Georgia, and while the southern culture has plenty of good sides, it also has a few negative – one of which is the southern drawl so I pride myself on not having a strong accent! While we love to travel both within the US and abroad, I will always be happy to come back home to our historic house where our silly but sweet little rescue kitty named Katy is waiting.
P.S. I would love this map for our future maybe baby’s room! And hi, I’m officially transitioning from a fascinated fan/”lurker” to a real, live commenter. Go me.
Justine in CT says
WORLD ME!! I’m going to wallpaper our powder room with my husband’s old nautical charts from the Long Island Sound area. Our basement has a beachy theme so it would fit right in.
If I’m luck enough to win the map wallpaper I’d choose the Connecticut and paper the eating area in our kitchen!!!
Love maps toooooo John
Ruth says
WORLD ME!
Those map wallpapers are amazing. I will always be fond of Buffalo NY, my hometown. It’s a small city, a city that has perhaps seen better days, but I love it. There is a vibrant arts culture and the literary scene is alive and well. It’s a beautiful area that may have a bad reputation for its weather, but the lake effect snow is beautiful, and that same lake keeps the climate away from extreme cold in the winter and extreme heat in the summer. We have Niagara Falls and Great Lakes.
Buffalo may have a lot of naysayers, but it is an absolutely amazing place to live.
Katie says
WORLD ME! I always love Paris, but of course have a soft spot in my heart for where I grew up, South Pasadena, CA

Renee says
WORLD ME!! Born and raised in South Jersey…I would have living no other way!
Teresa C says
World me!!
The Iowa “Great Lakes” area. My husband is from the area of Northwest Iowa home of Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake. It is just a beautiful spot in our home state that means a lot to him and has become a special place for me as well.
Beth Gatzow says
WORLD ME! Fiji
We honeymooned there and fell in love!
Khizran says
WORLD ME!!
Wanderlust! This word describes me so well. I love the concept of traveling especially to places near the water. I would love to follow a similar trip like the one mentioned in “Around the World in 80 Days”.
I am from Michigan and am currently studying abroad at a medical school in the Caribbean. I definitely prefer Michigan over Caribbean because living in Michigan has allowed me to appreciate all the four weather seasons but most importantly my friends and family reside this state.
Jess says
WORLD ME!!
My husband and I have talked about getting a large map of Cusco, Peru where we went on our honeymoon.
Jennifer W says

Patti says
WORLD ME! I would love a huge map of Boston. I went to school in Boston and I still currently live in the Greater Boston area. After a 7th grade trip to Boston, I knew I wanted to live there for a while. I’ve been here for a little over 8 years! Haven’t left yet. :)
