A map is always an adventure provoking item to add to any home and they are always very pretty. I have had a world map on my bedroom wall for a few years now but have always had a fascination with vintage and specialised maps. I actually found a map with all the national parks on it whilst browsing on Etsy and I am already planning to make it a goal to visit each one. The reason for my love of maps is that when one falls into my hands I want to stick a pin in it and go straight to wherever that place may be and just get lost. I would start my adventure from that point and then ensure I tick off each place as I go along.

Having a map of the world or of a country you like within your home helps you to remember that travel is an essential part of our lives. Don’t let the rush of daily life and materialism get in the way of travel, a nice combination of the two will work better.

I love maps. There is probably a name for people who love/collect maps. How could anybody NOT love maps. There is an amazing section in Brighton Museum with 4 or 5 slide out maps showing the development of the city over hundreds of years. Never fails to keep me occupied for about 15 minutes! We have a huge map of the world covering one our kitchen walls too!
big fan of maps, every since i was a kid and i used to get my grandad to test me on capital cities from around the world. i could really do with a nice wall hang our country
We have a couple of free maps on our apartment walls [one of the USA and one of Michigan]. I’ve been eying up some ones that have the USA made out of old car licence plates. I just love staring at them and working out/finding where places are.
