Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post courtesy of Trip Map World, a small Lithuanian company specializing in push-pin travel maps. I was gifted this map in exchange for an honest review of the product, which I’ve written below.
As a traveler, I can’t think of a more “must-have” piece of décor than a detailed and accurate push-pin travel map. So, when Trip Map World approached me about collaborating with them on this post to write a trip map review, I leaped at the opportunity.
Trip Map World is a small, family-owned business creating beautiful push-pin world maps
People with an eye for detail and an appreciation for good craftsmanship will find these maps especially pleasing. Trip Map World’s maps have been composed by professional cartographers and drawn to reflect modern-day borders.
Not only are all countries and capitals featured, but so are over 2,500 cities, plus all major oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. I found this especially compelling because I don’t just visit city capitals. On the Trip Map push pin travel map (whew, say that five times fast!), I can pin everything from Strasbourg, France, to Arequipa, Peru, to Queenstown, New Zealand.
Before you can begin your push pin travel map though, you have to choose your travel canvas. Full disclosure, it’s a tough call.
Trip Map World offers canvases in three sizes and four categories of pushpin travel maps: World Maps, U.S. Maps, Europe maps, and United Kingdom & Ireland maps.
As someone who has lived in five different countries, the initial selection was a no-brainer. I went with a push-pin world travel map. The second choice was a little harder. What size did I want? Small hesitation here, but ultimately I went with a Large – 47.24 x 31.5 inches (120×80 cm).
It’s a little big for the small one-bedroom apartment we’re currently in, but we’ll be moving (and upgrading our living space!) this fall. So, like many of my decisions lately, I made this one for Future Me.
Now for the hardest part: the color scheme of my pushpin map. While I can’t say enough about the diversity of the color selection, I also have to say that I took FOREVER to choose the one I liked best. It was too easy to imagine any of them hanging on my wall! The only thing I can tell you is to trust your gut. And, keep in mind that whatever you choose is guaranteed to be a gorgeous, handmade work of art made with artisanal love and care.
My choice: Push Pin World Map Sky Blue (Detailed)
I was drawn to the softness of the colors because of the size of the map. Also, I like to incorporate complementary aspects into my interior design. A large, gentle-colored world map exactly fit the bill. Additionally, travel has always left me feeling awash in the inner recesses of my mind. Now, I get that feeling when I look at my push-pin world map.
The pins also bring a unique interactive element to your interior design.
Trip Map World offers pins in many colors, meaning that you can also color code your travel canvas! Personally, I knew that I wanted to share this gift with my Frenchie. So, I chose three pin colors: silver for the places I’ve been, rose gold for the places he’s been, and gold for the places we have both visited!
You can also personalize your map!
I love this feature because it lets me choose something that represents where I am in my life. There are certainly more adventurous or hard-charging traveler quotes, but this one fits me just right.
In conclusion: There are well-furnished spaces, and then there are well-furnished spaces that invite good conversation.
By being able to pin your previous travel destinations, you’re able to create a travel board. With a travel board, you can chronicle past and future adventures! What’s more, the Trip Map push-pin travel maps are designed to last around 80 years! They also make a wonderful interior decorating statement piece.
With that in mind, I am pleased and excited to be able to happily recommend purchasing a push pin map from Trip Map World. Thank you for reading this Trip Map World review. I encourage you to explore their website and choose the canvas that will tell the story of your travel chronicles: ? Push Pin Travel Maps to Mark the Places – Tripmapworld.com.
