A travel map is not only a unique piece of interior decor — it is also your personal travel journal, reminding you of the adventures you took, the places you visited, inspiring your wanderlust, and motivating you to plan your future trips. To make your travel map even more special, take an opportunity to personalize it, by adding a text or some personal details at the corner of the map.
One of the ways to personalize your map is to add an inspiring, motivating, or simply interesting travel quote. The opportunities here are endless: it can be a quote that represents your personal take on life, a maxim, or a saying about traveling, exploring, and discovering, or maybe a quote of a famous person that inspires you.
