How to own a world map and mark the places you’ve visited
How I did it: I was exploring my Grandma's attic and old rooms and found this beautful world map folded inbet ween books. She said I could keep it, and now have orange sticky notes on all of the countries I have been to (U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Dubai, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rwanda) and blue sticky notes on all of the countries I want to visit in the next few years (Thailand, India, Phillipines, Figi, Japan, Zimbabwe, France, Spain, Brazil, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Mozambique, etc).
Lessons & tips: The bigger the better, and put it somewhere you can see if everyday.

I am going to mount my world map on some corkboard and use pins to mark every place I’ve been and where I want to go. I’m also going to attach a picture or souvenir from each of the places I’ve visited as inspiration
