Thank you all so much for entering!!!
Hi friends! If you’ve been around me very long at all, you know that all I wish is to wander. Travel the globe. See everything and experience all kinds of cultures. I got to spend some of my 20s traveling, but not nearly enough. Although, I don’t really think that I could ever feel like any amount of wandering was ‘enough.’

Something that I freak out about a lot, is time. Y’all know I just had a birthday, I’m 34 now, and time is really getting away from me (or so I feel). I look around at the people my own age around me and I see one of two things. We are either wanderers or we are parents. I’m not really sure how I feel about that, ya know?
I have always had a strong urge to roam, and I have also had an affinity for maps my entire life. Not that I am an expert map reader or anything, but they always remind me that adventure is out there waiting for me! My mom has several maps hanging in my parents’ home, and someday I hope to have just as many!
One thing I am dying to do is put a huge sheet of metal in our entryway, and attach every postcard from every far off destination we have ever been. Everywhere we have been, I grab a couple of extras to keep for us. This metal sheet is on my honey-do list. Too bad it is about 20 miles long!

So you can imagine, when I saw these beautiful watches, I knew I had to have one. The face of the watch is a map of the world, and it reminds me that hey, the world is yours, and you do have time.
I love this watch so much, I have partnered with the Outdoor Unique to give one lucky reader a world map watch, too!
Isn’t the distressed faux leather beautiful?! Truthfully, I like everything to look distressed, old and weathered.
The bands on these watches double wrap your wrist for a nice layered look. The metal studs along the band add great character.
I also love the brown because who doesn’t love a classic brown (faux) leather?
Now, I know, you are probably like “WHOA THERE, NELLY. I have a smartwatch!” That’s cool and all, I too am a slave to my apple watch.
However. I hate it when I go out and get all dressed up and what accompanies my outfit: the smartwatch. Nope, not a fashion statement, haha. I don’t want my apple watch being the thing that draws the eye to my outfit!
Since I love these watches so much, I can’t choose which one to keep for myself and which one to use as the prize for this wonderful give-away! I will let the winner choose the watch band they prefer, and I’ll keep the other one. They’ll both go with everything in my closet!

I stress a lot about time, too. You’re not alone!
I want to travel to Venice, Rome, NZ, and Bora Bora.
I lovvvveeee that brown and I’m a total sucker for the green wrap too.
I was super lucky and got to visit Venice and Rome in college. New Zealand is on my list of want to travel to!
My dream travel destination is Argentina. I love the history, the culture, and the uniqueness of the landscape. Bonus that my boyfriend’s family there too. My hope is to get there within the next two years.
Argentina would be a fabulous destination! Family being there means it will definitely (hopefully) be more doable.
The watch looks great, and Katy would love it!
My big travel dream is Egypt, and to see inside the pyramids.
I can totally see Katy wearing this watch! Egypt would be an amazing trip.
I would love to travel to England!! my grandmother lived there.. it’s been a dream!! !♡♡
I didn’t know that about your grandmother! I got to spend a little tiny bit of time in London, but I would love to go and explore the beautiful parts of the UK!
New Zealand and Australia is are definitely my dream destination. I’ve gotten as far as Ireland, which was amazing, but would love to go further.
Green is my color. 🙂
My dream destination is Australia. Something about the accent….I get asked if I’m from there all the time!! Plus they speak English so there’s that! 😂 Any band would make me happy but I’m partial to neutral colors…especially white or dark browns 😍
I’m definitely torn between Greece and Amsterdam. And Venice. Also, Ireland. I can’t choose.
My favorite poem, which sums up all that I am about…
To move, to breathe, to fly to float.
To gain, all while you give
To roam the roads of lands remote
To travel is to live.
I want to go to Exuma next… the water looks amazing. I think I’ll go and never return!!!
My dream vacay is an African safari!! One day! I would love to travel more! Thanks for sharing your adventures!! ❤️❤️❤️
Greenland(or somewhere to see the Aurora Borealis)!!!
I want to travel to all 50 states with my kids while they are still home, we are almost halfway there! Of course I dream of winning the lottery and traveling around the world 😉
I’ll be honest, I’m too nervous to travel out of the US. Yet at the same time, I’d love to travel if I could afford to but I guess not too far. I’d love for my girls to see more.
I have always wanted to visit Malta. Paul noted them for their hospitality when he shipwrecked there and they were still ranked the “kindest” nation in 2013(ish). The beautiful beaches don’t hurt, either. 😉
I would prefer the brown band, if I won the watch.
I would love to travel to New Zealand. My dream is to take my mom on the trip of her dreams. The brown band is my favorite.
I would love to go to New Zealand or anywhere in Europe!
