We Almost Have a Home

Apartment, really.  As everything runs here at the pace of a snail, we are hoping that by Monday the dueña [owner] will know that yes, we want it! and that no one steals it from us first.  Getting excited too soon, I started browsing through my For the home Pinterest board and I realized how obsessed I am with maps.

Ever since I can remember, my uncle had (and still has) a huge world map hanging in his room at my grandparents' house - every place he's traveled to has a small dot sticker to mark the spot.  Even when I was probably too young to be fascinated by travel, I always thought that one day I'll have a map like that, too, and I always hoped to travel to as many places as he had pegged.

Today I found this scratch-off map on Pinterest, and boy do I want it!

Am I a total nerd?  Other than a tacky collection of shot glasses, how do you incorporate your travel memories into your home?

  2. I have a huge map hanging in my room at home (island home) with the places I've been to marked with a blue pin and the ones I want to go to in red.

    I love staring at it when I'm chilling out at home and discovering new little islands I wasn't aware they existed!

    I totally share your obsession with maps!! It's the passion for traveling!
