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.

Sonya Curry says
WORLD ME.
I’m a Texan with a heart for France. St. Jean-de-Luz to be exact. I couch surfed there with a friend. (Google Couch Surfing, promise it’s intriguing to say the least). We made friends for life with our host, ate gelato everyday, jumped trains, drank too much wine and had the time of our lives. I will never forget cooking Tex-Mex in a closet…literally, the stove was in the closet…for our new friends. Old El Paso Salsa was the only brand we could get our hands on there. A sin to eat in Fort Worth, TX.
Love your blog. You two are wonderful.

World Me!
I LOVE maps–I think it’s a Social-Studies-teacher thing rather than a because-it’s-trendy thing, though. Anyway, I will always have a tender place in my heart for tiny ol’ Pleasant View, Utah, where the view is…nice.
