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.

WORLD ME!
It’d would have to be my sweet small town of Napa, California. I hated this place when I was a teenager, but as soon as we were ready to settle down, I knew we’d end up back here to raise baby-children.

WORLD ME!
Portugal.
I had the opportunity to road trip from Spain into Portugal in college. We made so many crazy memories, rode bikes, made friends with stray dogs and enjoyed the sun. It was a trip done with no money, and sometimes those are the best kind.

Jolene says
World Me! I have to admit I have a Pinterest board dedicated to all things maps! Would love a map mural of … Glacier Park?! ha!
Amanda says
World me! As any Texan would say, Texas is best. Because Texas is recognizable throughout the world, unlike the other states. You take a vacation in Europe and say you’re from the US. Eh, who cares. You say you’re from Texas, and boom, you’re awesome and people like you. :)
