Globetrotting Plot Charts

The 'Where I've Been' Scratch Map is a Traveler Must-See

— May 14, 2012 — Art & Design
The 'Where I've Been' Scratch Map is the ideal gift for helping adventurous globetrotters keep track of their exotic travels. Similar to popular scratch lotto tickets, each country is covered in a shiny metallic surface that is scuffed off once it has been visited.

The back of the map is blank and colorless to allow travelers to mark their flight paths and leave notes about each journey. The highly customizable chart is a conversational piece that can be framed and updated effortlessly. Although pictures are worth a thousand words, this plot-charting map provides an exceptional look at the miles traveled and all the must-tell moments.

Whether you are an experienced nomad or an budding backpacker, the 'Where I've Been' Scratch Map is one map you must check off your to-buy list.
