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.
- PRIZE: Any world map or custom area map wallpaper up to 8ft x 5ft from Wallpapered (a $400+ value!)
- 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?

WORLD ME!
I love it all – the whole thing… Want to see as much of it as possible in my time here on this earth. I came from a small town in Georgia and used to think I would never want to leave, but after traveling to Europe, Russia, throughout Canada and most of these beautiful United States, I decided it was no fun to limit oneself :) Places to go, people to meet, food to be eaten, life to be lived…

WORLD ME! OH MY GOODNESS! So I’ve always had an obsession with maps and globes… i have probably a dozen globes and maps but nothing that big!

China… everywhere…!

World me!!!!
I am a travel nut, but my favorite place isn’t somewhere exotic, it’s home. Living in the PNW I really miss the time I’ve spent on the Outer Banks of NC. Our family has had houses there since the 70s and my entire life I’ve loved my summers there.

WORLD ME! My husband and I hold a special place for a little tiny dot on the map on the beach of Negril, Jamaica. We were married there in April 2012 and talk about that amazing little island quite often. The culture, the jerk chicken, island time, “no problem mon,” the minister who married us, the vows exchanged….I could go on and on about why we love that place so much!
