With the bare walls / lack of art in our flat, I thought it would be fun to put up a world map to keep track of all the places we’ve travelled. All I needed was a map (from this cute store on etsy ), a cork board large enough to fit the map, and some coloured push pins.

I used red for places I’ve visited, blue for places Hitchen has visited, yellow for places we’ve both visited, and white for places we’ve lived.

I’ve always felt like we were fairly well travelled, but by the time I finished adding the pins, it really didn’t seem like we had been to many places at all! There are so many more possibilities!

We haven’t done a ton of travel around Europe… though now that we’re living in Paris, definitely hoping that will change (actually, just booked a trip to Venice!).

We’ve done a fair amount of travel in North America, though nothing in Northern Canada, the central US, or Mexico (Mexico sounds fun!).

And in Asia… just Hong Kong and Bejing – so many more places to go!

I really love this map – it’s a great conversation starter, a reminder of where we’ve visited and lived, and inspiration for more travelling!
