DIY travel map: plot your memories and plan some more...

Lovely Indeed Travel Map featured image When it comes to rekindling rich memories of days and nights spent exploring, eating great food, soaking up the local culture and more, looking at a Facebook or Google map doesn't really cut the mustard! Sure, they're really handy when you're trying to find your way around in unfamiliar territory, but there's just something very special about a printed map.

The adventurous folks at Lovely Indeed know this and decided to make their travels around the USA more memorable by putting together this DIY Travel Map. We think that, whether your favourite spots are in the Lake District, the Sahara, the rainforests of Madagascar or just down the road, that personalising a beautifully-printed map is a hugely decorative way to not only remind yourself of memories made, but also plan new adventures...
