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 am obsessed with maps, and would love to get a great big map of the ol’ US of A and then mark all of the places my boyfriend and I have traveled together (over the past 3 years, and through many years to come!)
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity!

“WORLD ME!” My choice would be a world map. I think it would be fun to mark all of the places we have been & then pick out our next great adventure on such a large map.

Katie says
WORLD ME!
Oxford, England will always be the city I keep in my heart. Where old and new meet in hallowed college halls, hushed libraries and cozy pubs…I can still close my eyes and see those beautiful streets as if it were just yesterday I was scrambling down the cobblestone.
Alip says
WORLD ME!
The little town in Thailand where I lived as a Peace Corps volunteer will always be close to my heart!

Bamberg, Germany holds a special place in my my fiance’s heart as does anywhere in New Zealand. It is in these two locations that we fell in love and began building our lives together.
Beth says
World Me!
Elisa says
WORLD ME!
Vancouver, British Columbia. I was born and raised there, and most of my family and friends are still there. I live in Alberta now, but every time I go home, I get that special feeling… :) Love it :)
But my husband and I love to travel the world, so I think a world map would be PERFECT for us.
Heather says
WORLD ME!
Steph says
World me! Kyoto, Japan, is near and dear to our hearts. On many occasions, we have walked/bused it from one end to the other. You could sight-see there for weeks!
Ashley C. says
WORLD ME!
New York City, hands down. I’ve been there twice now, and it hurts to leave. Maybe I’ll get to live there someday.

I love San Diego, CA where the hubby and I took our honeymoon.
Linda says
WORLD ME!
I’d have to go with Iowa. It’s home.
Maria Grace says
WORLD ME!
Mount Saint Elias on Alaska and Canada border. I used to look at it and think: “If I ever have a child, I’ll name it Elias, whatever the gender.” I even got a topo map of that region. It’s framed and hanging on the wall right where I’m typing this now.
And guess what? I’m a mother now. His name is Elias =).
Anaïs R says
WORLD ME! I’m from the south of France and even though I’m very happy living in Canada now (and hopefully Michigan soon!), I’m still very fond of the place :)
Tera says
World Me! We have a lot of maps around our house already (hubby was a geography major) so I don’t know what I’d pick, but Rome holds a special place in our hearts and is our son’s middle name.
Trilby says
WORLD ME!
I LOVE New Orleans. No matter where I go in life I always come back! It’s my hometown and current place of residence. I love the way the city looks on a map :)
Lesley says
WORLD ME!
I grew up in Orange County, California and I will always have a special fondness for that place but Santa Barbara (my college town!) is the home I miss most. Who wouldn’t miss the American Riviera? Beautiful mountains, ocean, palm trees, hiking, waterfalls, quaint downtown, amazing food.
Christina @ Homemade Ocean says
WORLD ME!
We went to Camden, Maine this summer and I think it will forever be in our hearts.
I think every person should go to Maine at some point in their life. It was so quaint!!!
LCarbone says
WORLD ME!
I’m am from Toronto, Canada and while I love where I am from (born & bred)…I would love to win a map of the World! I want my 4 year old son to grow up knowing that there is a great big world out there filled with differences and possibilities. I have always loved Georgraphy! Thanks, Lisa
Kaitlyn says
World Me! I’m in Australia, so the zoom in option is unavailable to me… but I would love to zoom in on my hometown city of Melbourne.

South West London please! Home for me when I was an irresponsible 20something with penchant for vodka cocktails, late night dancing and early morning walks home through Clapham Common.
Now über responsible mum of 3 under 4… With a penchant for DIY, quilting and cake baking… What happened ;)
MrsZ says
WORLD ME! It’s definitely a tie between Chicago, where I webt to law school; New York, where my husband and I fell in love; and Zurich, where we currently live and have built our home. And what can I say, I just love any kind of map, period.:-)

WORLD ME! WORLD ME! WORLD ME!
After 10 years of saving and scrimping and planning and raising our four babies so they were old enough to leave for a few days, my husband and I went to hang out with some great countrymen in PERU.
I would just love to surprise him with a map of Huanuco on the wall of his new office!
He would die.

Stephanie says
World Me! Please!
I love the small city where I grew up and met my husband, London, Ontario (but when we travel the world, we say near Toronto, ON, if anyone asks)!
