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.

World me! I can’t pick a most special place but both London and Stockholm are very special to me. I love maps, old & new! I’m actually currently working on making some DIY art of the Stockholm metro map, translated “literally” into English too.
PS, this is my first comment but I have been reading for a LONG time! Yay for a giveaway us Brits can enter! Thank you :)

Salem, MA is my favorite place on Earth. We lived there for about a year and miss it so much.
Brittany W says
World me!! Although we were only there for 6 months, Minot ND will always hold a special place for me. It’s where my husband and I started our lives together. It reminds me of taking the leap, being completely on our own. <3

World Me! My husband and I love, love, love maps and a world map would be awesome on our office wall…if I did a custom one, it’d be Rapa Nui, our favorite island that we’ve visited!

WORLD ME!
I’m pretty much obsessed with Austin. Which is the first place I’ve really been an adult and lived on my own and well, let’s be honest, it’s an AWESOME city. But I would probably pick a map of some foreign city like London or Paris or something.

I have only been there once, but Scotland – in particular Edinburgh – has a very special place in my heart. Not only is this the city, where my hubby proposed, but it is also the birth place of the Harry Potter novels (: (which makes my geeky heart very happy).
Caitlin says
World Me!
I grew up in a little town in south west Michigan, right on the lake. I’d love to see it super sized on my wall!
Colleen says
WORLD ME!!
Born and raised outside of Cleveland, OH, I never in a million years thought I would move to Indiana, but because of my husband we moved to southern Indiana and I absolutely love it. Quality people, so much to do and it’s where we were married and bought our first house :-) Love this giveaway!!!!
Allison says
WORLD ME!
I have lots of traveling I’d still like to do, but Las Vegas holds a special place in my heart because that’s where me and my hubby married and honeymooned. And no, we didn’t elope and Elvis didn’t perform the ceremony!

Laura says
WORLD ME!
I am into ancestry, so I have so many. Rhode Island because it’s where I’m from and where so many parts of my family have lived for generations. Nantucket because I’m related to the founders. England because of my ancestry, and Naples for the same reason.

Connie says
World me
My dad mounted maps on the hallway walls, making the ideal delaying tactic for kids not wanting to go to bed right away. So why was he surprised that I could name all the states on a blank US map?
Kerry says
WORLD ME! I love San Francisco. Such a fun place.
Blythw says
World me!! Bay City Mi my hometown
Karyn says
WORLD ME!
It would have to be my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It’s where I was born and raised, where I met my husband, also where he was born and raised, where he proposed to me, where we got married and where all of our close family still lives. We are the only ones who have relocated to probably my second favourite place Ottawa, Ontario, Canada simply for the fact that it’s the city where my now 2-year-old daughter was born.
Jessica says
“WORLD ME!”
My husband and I went to Paris, France before we got married. It was an amazing experience!
Tori Greaves says
WORLD ME!
I think it’s Dallas for me – I was born in Tulsa and raised in Wolverhampton in the Midlands of England, leaving my Dad behind in Dallas. That’s where I go back to now with my little boys to see their Pops and Nana Kaye, and I miss them every day. Would that I could split myself in two…
Megan Foard says
WORLD ME! My husband is military and we move… A LOT. Next assignment is eastern Germany so a map of that area would be AWESOME!
Morgan says
WORLD ME!
I took a trip to Paris a few years ago, and I loved walking up and down the streets. It would be great to point at the map with all the landmarks on my wall and say “Hey, I’ve been there!”
Larissa says
WORLD ME!
I will always love Victoria, BC. I lived there for 4.5 years. I met my husband there and our son was born there. I loved the job I had in Victoria and hope to one day return to live there again.
