Calling all visual learners and crafty explorers! Palomar has just created a 100×80 cm map decoration that allows you to showcase your travel memories on the wall.

These felt maps let explorers pin collected memories onto the appropriate location, in order to visualize their experience and exposure. The series of maps so far include London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York and a World Map.

Perfect for those traveling within one general location, they're also the perfect accessory for travelers to carry to categorize what places they've visited, or any special memories they wish to take note of.
