One of the best parts about travel is it allows you to make lasting memories.
Along with photos, journals and friendships, many people with a taste for travel have an obsession with maps. Whether it’s remembering journeys past or planning another adventure, there is a certain romanticism in cartography.
While there may be plenty of uses for online maps, taking out a physical one is far more satisfying. The scratch off world map goes one further and places a reminder of your trips on the wall.
The map of the world is covered with scratch off metallic material, allowing you to mark the places you have visited. You can even scratch off individual U.S. states.
Along the bottom of the map lie the flags of every country of the world, giving you two things to scratch off for every trip and potentially increasing your worth to the pub quiz team. To really maximize your usefulness in the geography round, get down to memorizing world capitals, each of which are marked on the map.
The scratch off world map would make a great addition to any household, or a great gift for a fellow traveler. Keeping a visible reminder of your adventures means the travel bug will remain inspired, and you might find yourself jetting off to a destination you had never previously considered. Anyone for a trip to the Cocos Islands in search of peace and quiet?
The map is made by Landmass, and you can order one from Amazon.
