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.

My husband and I currently reside in SoCal, but are from Washington State. Seattle will always be home to us – we still have a house there, and it is probably my favorite place in the world. Each time we visit, it gets harder to leave!

Amanda says
WORLD ME!

WORLD ME! Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Katie H. says
WORLD ME!!!!!
Ohmygosh. I just moved into a new house this weekend, and have been scoping out world map wallpapers to go on the wall of our office. This would be PERFECT! I would finally be able to learn some of the geography skills that I never mastered in school :-)
And to answer the bonus questions: I LOVE the Midwest. I honeymooned in Hawaii (and would love to go back!).
Rachel says
WORLD ME!! I’m doing my baby’s room in maps! Maybe I’d pick Alabama or the town we live in……can’t decide!
Bethany says
WORLD ME!
I love the little town where I grew up. Trumbull, Connecticut. It’s the same town where my mom grew up, even on the same little lake. And that lake is the same one where my husband and I got married. A lot of memories there.

Amber Southern says
World Me!
Ireland holds a special place in my heart. I dream of retiring there.

Kristy says
WORLD ME!!
That would be a hard decision! I would either choose Pittsburgh (my hometown) or Emerald Isle, NC (where my fiance proposed).

WORLD ME!
Jo says
WORLD ME!
I’m Belgian, I’ve never lived anywhere else but Belgium. My husband is South African born & raised, he moved to London at 21 where he lived for 8 years and almost 2 years ago he moved to Belgium. We are currently living in the city we met in (Ghent, Belgium) so this place is near & dear to my heart. But so is London because we got engaged there. I definitely can’t pick one place that’s important to me. There are too many! :)
Jen says
WORLD ME!!! My favorite place ever would have to be Cornelius, NC because it’s the place where I grew up!!! It’s very near and dear to my heart
Karen C. says
WORLD ME!
I have a special place in my heart for Tilton, NH. My husband grew up there and that is where we got married. And Orlando, Florida, will always be special because that is where our daughter was born.
suzanne says
World Me! for me it would be the place my son was born. we are a military family and no matter where we go, my heart and mind always go back to where we were at that moment.
