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.

Hannah says
World me baby! I’m a mutt of a girl so my roots are all over!
Angela V says
WORLD ME! My favorite city is Venice, Italy. The first city we visited in my only (so far) trip abroad. I went on a student trip with my daughter and had a wonderful bonding 10 days with her and several other teen girls. We had a fabulous time discovering Italy and France together.
jenn says
World me!
We just moved back to Nebraska (my home town) after several years of trying to get home. It would be fun to have a map of the city…near and dear to my heart :)
Stacy says
WORLD ME!
I love the way my little hometown, Radford, VA looks on maps because of how it snugs right into a bend of the New River. I also have a special place in my heart for maps of downtown Jersey City, NJ where I spent a good part of my late twenties early thirties.
Kim says
“WORLD ME!”
New York City has always fascinated me – even though I have never lived there.
Stacy says
WORLD ME! I’ll always have a fondness for Seattle, because this is where I moved after graduating from college – without a job, without friends – and managed to make it through the tough times and make lifelong friends. It’s also where my fiance and I lived together for the first time. :)
Jen says
WORLD ME! At the moment, I’d love to get my husband a US map so we can track all of the places we’ve been!

World me!
NY state. Some many great places in one state.

WORLD ME! Cape Breton Island, NS Canada. My home.
Caitlin L says
WORLD ME!
I think the Finger Lakes area in up-state NY is most special to me. I lived the first 5 years of my life there and go back almost every summer to visit family. Not much changes there, and that is so different than most other places you go.
Jodie says

This is a super hard choice! I would probably pick the Caribbean since that’s where my husband and I went on our honeymoon.

WORLD ME! I grew up outside of New York, which is where my parents are from, and have lots of NY memories, so it will always be my favorite city!

World Me!
I spent part of college living in Edinburgh, Scotland and it really became like a second home! I haven’t been back since I went but someday I’ll be there again :)
Gemma says
World Me! Cairo, Egypt is my home away from home. As a young girl, I lived there for a year, then returned as a graduate student, to study for a few months. Later visited it with my husband, and always, it has felt like a second home!
Abigail says
WORLD ME! I am obsessed with maps of Chicago (where I grew up) and Los Angeles (where I love and live now), but I also love maps of the world and USA and I’d like to someday do a hallway frame collage featuring my favorite US cities (Chicago, Los Angeles, DC, San Francisco, Portland).

WORLD ME! Bloomington, IN… where I fell in love :)
tambryn says
WORLD ME!
I’m fascinated with Paris. We recently had the chance to stay 5 nights there. We planned the trip ourselves, so I was nervous about how we’d get around and do things. However I was proud at how much we absorbed the culture (not just museums)and we had a great time there!
Lia says
World Me! I’d go for a world map. Who wouldn’t be inspired to travel more with the entire world laid out for them?
Lindsay says
“WORLD ME!” My favorite place is slightly ghetto little Aloha Oregon. I was robbed (as a bank teller) and met my hunky hubby (police officer) out of the deal :o)
Bridgette says
“WORLD ME!” Yokosuka, Japan. Lived there for 8 years and miss it so much!
Liz says
WORLD ME. The neighborhood at foot of Diamond Head in Honolulu, where I fondly remember childhood visits to my grandparents’ home.
Kathleen says
WORLD ME! My husband and I have lived alllllll over the place – on our own before we met, then together, hopefully even more adventures in the future with kiddos in tow – but we met in Charlottesville, Virginia when we were both at UVa. So that perfect little town will always always always be tops in our hearts!
Olivia says
WORLD ME! I’d get a map of Johnson City, TN where I was born
