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.
- PRIZE: Any world map or custom area map wallpaper up to 8ft x 5ft from Wallpapered (a $400+ value!)
- 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?

Hannah Walters says
“WORLD ME!” my favourite spot is probably pretty close to where I live and always have lived (the north Yorkshire moors)but the joy of a map is exploring and marking all the places I will go and have been. I’m planning a long Europe road trip honeymoon at the moment so I could plan that out on a MASSIVE map!

World Me! I would probably go with Memphis, TN. Its my current city and the first place my husband and I have lived together in. We met in college in our hometown and then moved to Memphis for grad/med school… We’ve really learned and grown a lot since being over six hours from any friends and family.

Stephenville, TX where my husband and I were married. I got overwhelmed by wedding planning, so we dropped it all to get married by a JP in the city park for a 2 minute wedding. :)
Kimberly Adams says
WORLD ME! I love Texas! We just received a giant historic map of Texas for Christmas. I can’t wait to hang it above the mantle. If I were to win, though, I would probably get a world map to hang in the play room, education for the kiddos.
Sarah J says
WORLD ME!
I lived in Kenya for a few months and loved it!
Eliza F says
WORLD ME! You ask such difficult locations. My fiance and I have been long distance for the majority of our five years together (Pittsburgh-NYC-Dublin-Washington DC) so picking one place is crazy difficult. He managed to spend a few days with me when I was studying in Dublin and those were completely magical. So for this moment, right now, I’d have to go with Dublin, Ireland!
Andrea says
WORLD ME!
So many great places to choose from, my Canadian home town is close to my heart but Paris, France is one of my favourite travel spots.
Andrea says
World me!
I love the historic town of Hoi An in Vietnam. Yummy food, tailor made clothes and a fantastic hotel Ha An for relaxing. Rose petals all across the room which is housed in a colonial style building.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Connie says
World me! I’ve lived in the North East my whole life, and it will always be my favorite!
Jenn says
WORLD ME!
I would probably want a map of the world to mark everywhere I’ve traveled, but the place that’s most special to me would be Berkeley, CA. That’s where I went to college. I have so many happy memories from there. I miss it all the time.
jill says
WORLD ME! Ooh, I’d want the whole world.
Liz says
World me! This is a very cool giveaway & I love reading the comments. These people have some great ideas! I think I’d get a map of Seattle – my husband and I are moving there this summer & we’re quite thrilled/scared/nervous/excited about living in such a different place since we currently live in Indiana.
Claire says
WORLD ME! I love Decatur, GA. My hometown that is still my current town! You should check it out when you are in the ATL in February :) Look forward to seeing y’all…
