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?

Joanna says
World Me! My favorite place: the south especially South Carolina! I’ve lived here all my life. I love the weather, the landscape, the proximity to the beach and the mountains. If I win though, I’d want the whole world. Limitless huge learning possibilities for the kiddos.
Debbie says
World me.
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Where I’d live if I could.
Jill says
World Me!
The world is small enough as it is so I’d take the whole thing! We really want our kids to catch the travel bug and learn about faraway places, cultures, cuisine etc and learn how similar and different kids are from themselves! Hoping to go abroad for a year in the not-too-distant future!
Tara says
WORLD ME! Seattle, The only place that has always felt like home!
Gina says
World me!
So far, my special place is Rome, Italy.
Lise says
WORLD ME!
I love many, many different cities and countries I’ve been too but the place I will always call home is our family farm in the heart of South Africa. I feel at peace whenever I have the opportunity to visit.
Christy says
WORLD ME! I would probably choose our hometown which is where my husband & I met & live now. I also like the idea of having the whole world on my wall.
Andrew says
WORLD ME! We love to travel and a world map would be soo cool. Super cool giveaway!!
Sara F says
WORLD ME! I spent a week in the county in Ireland where my (very extended) family is from and I still feel (somewhat inexplicably) homesick for it. California will do, though. :)
nancie says
WORLD ME!
Long Beach, CA is where i was raised – but live in Alabama now :)
Samantha says
WORLD ME! I live in the middle of nowhere, so a map wouldn’t be too interesting of my hometown, but I’ve always wanted to travel, so I’d choose a map of Paris!
Sarah A says
WORLD ME! Boston, MA – Oh I love that dirty water :)
Wendy B. says
“WORLD ME!!!”
I heart London!
Lizzie says
World Me!
I love living in Minneapolis, but I remain partial to Chicago where I hope to live again one day!

WORLD ME! I’d let my son pick. He’s the map-obsessed one around her…and he’s five…weird.
Rachel says
WORLD ME!
I met my husband in Sydney, Australia and we fell in love and got married there so I always have great memories from our time there but since being married we have traveled and lived on 3 different continents and 4 different countries so I would have a hard time choosing :)

World Me.
I have lived in London and it will always be my favorite place. However, since moving to Portland, OR I do love our city in map form. The river and all the bridges keep it interesting!
Val says
WORLD ME!
I love New Orleans. I went there reluctantly, completely expecting to hate it. But it’s the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to and the food is amazing.
Kristen says
WORLD ME!!!! – Lake Pleasant NY. I have spent every summer there since I was 5 years old. Now I love to get away there for weekends during the fall to see the amazing colors, winter for fires and snowmobiling and summers for days where you wear a bathing suit the moment you wake up until you go to bed.
Holly says
WORLD ME!
I would probably choose San Francisco–I just got my husband a tie with a map of S.F., so it would only be fitting to have a wall to match!

Laura says
World me!! I would choose Phoenix, Arizona! We currently live in another city and were planning in moving back next year but it looks like that is probably a few more years off. It would be a nice reminder of home!
Carrie says
World ME! My home town is in Mentor Ohio, but I am fond of my new home in Las VEgas, NV!
Michelle B says
World me.
I guess it is sort of our home town. But I would get the west coast of Washington state including the San Juan islands. So intricate and special to our family.
Melissa S says
WORLD ME!
Jessica says
World Me… We have a small map puzzle of the town we live in now. My husband and I grew up in the same small town, so it would be cool to have a map of it.

World me! I’d pick northern Colorado (Fort Collins or Boulder). I love it here, and I’m always getting lost. :)

My husband and I have been planning a trip to Scotland for about 2 years. We have finally saved enough to make it worth while. Can’t wait!
Ursula says
WORLD ME! I love, love, love NYC! It is one of my favorite places to be. I went to college in westchester and went I to the city at least every other weekend! I currently live just south of Boston but whenever I visit NYC it feels like I’ve come home.
Heather says
WORLD ME
I love me a little cartography in the morning! I think this would be an awesome addition to my kids’ playroom and would help cover up that gawful (that’s God-awful for those not in the know)70s fake wood panelling!
