We love this one! ❤ . More of a decor and wall art, the concept of this map is you can scratch off places that you visit. Due to its rising popularity, it is now available in various versions. For example, one of them comes with landmarks of various Wonders of the World which are on the bucket list of every travel enthusiast – Golden Gate, London Eye, Big Ben and more. Others may be with the countries represented in the colors of its flag.  If you don’t like the one with the funky black background, try the one with classy white background. It’s absolutely cool too.
