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?

Bea says
World me! My home region (Alsace, North east of France) which seems to me like a soft and abundant green cradle between the Vosges mountains on the West and the German Black Forest on the East will always be the nicest place on Earth to me.
But I do love-love-love the Four Corners/ Southwest of the US and that special light in the desert.
Miss both a lot now that we’re living below sea level…aka in the Netherlands.
Can’t wait for teleportation to exist!!
Also : thanks for another worldwide giveaway! Good luck everyone!

World Me! Evart Michigan is the place that has a special place in my heart and memories. I lived there from birth until 3rd grade and I just remember life seemed simple.

Makes me smile thinking of it.
