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.

- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WORLD ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …what town / city / state / country / other geographic area is most special to you? Will you always have a fondness for the town you grew up in? Are you most enamored with the place where you honeymooned? Or are you just bursting with pride over the area where you currently live?

The husband is OBSESSED with old English maps from around his home county… think circa 1800’s with calligraphy etc.
So he would LOVE a wall of this, and I might be kind enough to indulge him in our spare room!
Genevieve Haggard says
World me! Seattle is the most meaningful place for me. I moved there after college – it was my first time away from home and I was so excited and scared to be out in the big world on my own. Fortunately it was an amazing time in my life, but I would LOVE to have a map on my wall commemorating those years!

WORLD ME! I would love a map of Barcelona, Spain– my now-fiance studied abroad there while we dated during college. I went to visit him over my spring break and that trip confirmed what we both suspected: we totally wanted to get married! That was 2 years ago and it turns out we were right:) Our wedding is in July and this would be an awesome surprise for him in our new apartment!

WORLD ME!
There are a lot of very special places to me, but I think Seattle might be one of my favorite places. Sure, I had to move away because I couldn’t handle the 9 months of cloudiness, but it’s truly beautiful and just amazing from spring to fall. The lakes, the mountains, the looming volcano, the adorable Craftsman houses…!

WORLD ME!
The great pacific northwest! It is where we currently live (although we will be moving in 5 weeks) and it will always hold a special place in my heart. We’ve had an amazing time here and we truly love the landscape. This is also where we finally got pregnant and had our little bundle of joy. We’ve watched her grow into an independent little one year old and a lot of our memories of her first year include the great areas of the PNW.
