And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me.

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 think I would definitely have to go with the Jersey shore vacation town that my family has been going to every summer since before I was born. <3 SIC!

Carolyn says
WORLD ME!! I have been searching for the perfect map for my living room wall.(12′ wide and to the peak of the roof in height) I had found one several years back at the Metrolina Antiques and Collectibles Show here in Charlotte but thought I would find another one that I would be able to “try out” first. But alas, I have not. My wall has been blank for 7 years! Manhattan in black/white or sepia would be awesome.
Jen says
World Me!!!! I think the whole world would be wonderful!

World me!
I have a special place in my heart for Boston. My husband and I lived there for just 3 years right after college, and we have such wonderful memories of exploring the entire city. We don’t live there anymore, so perhaps it’s nostalgia that makes me prefer that to our current location (which is also my hometown).
Rhonda Bohart says
“WORLD ME!” Alaska. It has become home.

Eric Olson says
WORLD ME!!
Always have loved maps! I would have to say that even though I grew up in a small town outside of Atlanta, the place that has the most memories is a small town in North Dakota called Garrison that we visited two or three times over the years and always went in big groups to camp there. Three or four campsites around a big lake. Campfire fish fries and some good ole card games (Nerts for the win!!). Great times in North Dakota. (who’d a thunk it could be so much fun??)
DianaP says
WORLD ME!
I would love to visit London again, a fascinating city.

Katie Rose says
World Me!

WORLD ME ! my special place is where i live right now. A small, quiet town in East Java, Indonesia, where natural landscape is everywhere. The beach, the forest, the tea plantation, the rice field …. you name it, and it’s just a short drive from home. So beautiful !!
kari says
WORLD ME! So hard to choose…Germany where I was born, Scotland where my oldest learned to walk, our hometown where I created a family, or the town where I went to highschool and met my husband…I think I would need the world map to encompass all the special places we’ve been and hope to go!
