Once you get into a travel mood, it’s hard to resist the allure of visiting new places, having adventures, making memories, seeing brilliant sunsets in new places and strolling along sandy beaches. A part of you will always want to do things like traveling on trains and eating from menus when you can’t even read or pronounce the words on signs and menus. There’s a pulse pounding thrill found in visiting totally new places, having new experiences, meeting new people and absorbing new cultures.
Map Magnets states, “Keeping a map board on a wall in your home or office and using map pins to track where your adventures have taken you is an exciting and visible way to remind yourself of good times you’ve enjoyed. You can use different colored pins to signify areas with special geographical elements like mountains and beaches, or to represent different countries.” Your imagination can help you revisit all the places that are closest to your heart.
Places To Display A Map With Travel Pins
Several places in the home work well for displaying your map with travel pins. An office or a study is a great place to start. Or, you can have fun decorating a family room with a cork board featuring a map. If you’re feeling really adventurous all over again, you can paint a map on a wall. Then use your pins to document all the places you’ve traveled to and enjoyed.
In our technologically advanced fast-paced world, you can now keep track of your travels using a phone or computer application like the feature on Pinterest called Place Pins. This can be used to mark places you’ve already been or wish to go in the future. As a bonus, friends and family can also share in your adventures.
Visible Reminder To Bring Back Memories
Bring back memories of the fun you had on your African safari having personal encounters with elephants, giraffes, zebras and lions. Your heart will beat faster when you see the visible reminder of your trip to Australia and your visit to the outback, the cosmopolitan city of Sydney and the splendor of snorkeling and swimming among the sea life of the Great Barrier Reef.
No matter where you’ve been or where you hope to go in the future, a map with pins is a visible, tangible reminder of the places you’ve been lucky to visit and those places that are still in your dreams. A travelers heart never truly settles in one place. There is always that desire within the conscience to have new experiences, meet new people, learn about different cultures and to see new places. Putting together a map with pins helps keep those good memories alive.
