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.

- 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?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 23rd at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

I’m fond of the tri-state area where I was born and raised and my favorite vacations have been anywhere along the coast from Florida to Maine!
Sarah says
WORLD ME! I will always love DC maps (which feels a little silly given that I’m technically from NoVA). I also love maps of Cooperstown, which is where Grandpa grew up, my grandparents met and married, and my dad was born. It holds a special place in my heart!
Bekah says
WORLD ME!
I love Lawrence, KS. It’s where I went to college and where I will be getting married this year (to a wonderful man that I met at KU!). Rock Chalk!
Danielle says
WORLD ME!”I live where you vacation” – I grew up in Maceio/Brazil it’s beautiful there but I’m in Canada now and I wouldn’t mind getting the world map as I’m crazy about it just for the fact that I can pinpoint all the places that I’ve been so far. Thanks!!!
Maria says
World ME! :-D (So excited about the international give-away I’m elbowing my way
A special place to me is a tiny island called Atiu in the South Pacific. Or, New York City, or San Francisco, or so many other towns that I am partial to because of sweet memories, good food, or lovely friends that live there. :-)

Holly c says
World Me!
I think it would be a toss up for me. Either Russel Kansas where my grandmother lived. I have fond memories of that place and being born in Kansas and living in Texas, I get a lot of flack from my husband. Or a map of Seattle Washington. It was the first trip me and my husband took together and I feel in love with the city.
Mollie says
WORLD ME! Baltimore, MD is my hometown and the place I always come back to no matter how far away I stray. We’re currently in the Navy, so the next 15 years or so may keep me from Baltimore, but eventually my family and I will be back!
Amy @ Croquet & Cocktails says
WORLD ME!!
We live in Norfolk VA. Here is where I had my baby and where our little life is. Pretty simple, but there’s no where else I’d rather be. (That’s saying a lot since I was raised in sunny Southern California!!)
Dan Goldstein says

VVednesday says
WORLD ME!
My husband and I have built our relationship on traveling. I’m from Jersey and he’s from New York, but we were engaged we took trips out to California, Arizona and down to Mexico. In the first few years of dating, we traveled up and down the East Coast a bunch (we’ve seen 16 U.S. States together). We got engaged in Costa Rica, honeymooned in Australia, and are currently planning our next big trip for this summer: Scotland! My husband has also recently been to Iceland and Turkey on two separate bachelor party trips. (These guys don’t mess around!) I think of all the places we’ve been, Costa Rica takes the cake. I mean, horseback ridding at the base of a volcano? Yeah, that’s totally normal there.
Miki says
World ME! A Charlottesville map would steal our <3.
Julia says
WORLD ME! Even though I grew up in metro Detroit, I love northern Michigan. It’s so naturally beautiful and we are even getting married up there this September!

WORLD ME! I would definitely LOVE a map of Durham, NC to put up in my new house. We’re in the process of renovating a 112 year-old mill house in downtown, and to have a map of the area on one of the walls would be the most amazing touch.
