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.

Oops – World Me If it were just me, I would definitely order something from San Francisco (my favorite place I have lived) but since I would consider my husband’s opinion :), I would say something New Mexico or specifically Albuquerque since we just moved here in November.
Natalie Fleischer says
WORLD ME! My mom and dad are from Haiti but I was born and raised in New Jersey (like Sher-Dog), my husband is half Ukranian and half Ghanian so our 3 year son is a giant melting pet and I have been wanting a world map for his bedroom that we are in the final stages of redecorating…I spotted a cool one at home goods a month ago and was saving my pennies for it but it was gone when I checked back a few weeks later so this would be Perrrfection.
Alissa says
World me!
I have to go with Manhattan, since it’s where I went to college, and have stayed ever since – I got married here, my daughter was born here, and my new little one will be born here in a few weeks!
Laura says
World me!
The most special place in the world to me is the city New Orleans, hands down. I have visited every year to do volunteer work, explore the sights, and lose myself in the art and music. It is the most passionate, romantic, and vibrant place I have ever been, and I hope to return for many years to come.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!

I will always be fond of my tiny hometown in Kentucky–I love visiting for the gorgeous country side, rolling hills, beautiful sunsets, and the perfect view of the expansive starry skies.
Andrea says
WORLD ME! I haven’t traveled much and am living now only 15 minutes from where I grew up (I have a family of my own now though), and since I’m not completely enamored with CA, except for the weather and the fact that our families are here, I don’t really have a favorite place. Maybe after we take our 10-year anniversary trip this year that might change though!

World me! Currently I am in love with Chicago but so many places have my heart–India, Colombia, Haiti, Thailand, Kenya, Congo, Cameroon…
