Trip Map Review: The Best Push Pin World Map for Travellers
When the Trip Map team contacted me, I jumped at the opportunity to review their incredible push-pin large map. After looking for a wall map for a while, I hadn't found one I really loved - until now!
These aren't just your average run-of-the-mill maps. These luxury canvas pushpin wall maps are lovingly handmade in Lithuania by a small team led by Marta and Paulius. Having one of these in my home allowed me to pinpoint the amazing places I've visited, as well as those on my bucket list.

Push Pin Travel Map
I am amazed at how many different colour palette options and board sizes Trip Map World offers. Thirty-one different colourways are available for the world map, which is incredible.
Who would have thought that so many different looks could be applied to one map?
Choose between four different maps: the World map, the Europe map, the USA map, and the brand-new UK and Ireland map, along with numerous personalisation options that include names, logos, and icons. The endless options allow you to match your push pin board with pins to your home decor.
World, Europe and USA Maps are available in a landscape aspect and come in four dimensions:
- Small (85x60 cm / 33.4x23.6 in)
- Medium (100×70 cm / 39.3×27.5 in)
- Large (120×80 cm / 47.2×31.5 in)
- Extra Large (150×100 cm / 59×39.3 in)
UK and Ireland Maps are offered in a portrait aspect with the same dimensions.
Each map comes with 100 pins of your chosen colour, but if you require more, 16 additional pin colours are available to purchase online.
My Push Pin World Travel Map
I was originally asked to review the newly launched UK and Ireland Map. However, I felt that, as I am from the UK and have visited almost everywhere within it, I wanted a world map. This would allow me to pin my past international travels, as well as new and exciting places I want to visit in the future.
I opted for Trip Map World's colourful, detailed large map as I loved its subtle pastel colours and the fact that the countries detailed in blue matched my logo.
When my world map arrived, I was so excited, firstly by the size of the package being carried tentatively down the drive by the delivery man, and also by the fact that so much attention had been taken to ensure it arrived in perfect condition from Lithuania to the UK!
I eagerly unwrapped my World Push Pin Travel Map and gazed at its beautiful colours and superior quality. This wasn't just a wall map; this was a statement piece!
Exceptional quality and detail
The high-quality textured canvas is mounted on a foam-backed, lightweight frame and printed using certified Canon ink, meaning the map will not yellow or fade over time.
Country names are written in English, with city names written in the local language, adding to the appeal.
There are hooks for hanging on the right and left corners of the frame already attached for ease. It only took me about 10 minutes to hang up (with help from hubby!), but there is also an online guide to help you.
Colourful Trip Map Pins
Along with my world map came three pots of coloured push pins (100 in each). A personal handwritten card was included, making it clear that the map had been made with care, specifically for me.
With a range of coloured pins to choose from, you can customise your map in any way you choose. My choice was three colours. White (to match my furniture), blue (to match my logo), and rose gold for a touch of glamour.
My selection enabled me to use white pins for capital cities and blue pins for towns. For places I still want to visit, I've marked them with the rose gold pins.
I now have a detailed wall map that makes me smile every time I pass by it.
Unique Trip Map Personalisation
And the "pièce de résistance" is that my website name - Where Angie Wanders - has been printed in the left-hand corner of the map. It has been printed in my logo colour of blue and is perfect.
I finally have a personalised world map, something I have wanted for a long time.
A map is a travel record of your life; mine holds over 35 years of travel experiences.
Everything is documented on my map, from a road trip in South Africa to an idyllic stay in the Maldives!
A pushpin map would make a perfect, unique gift for yourself or a loved one. In fact, it would make a perfect, unique gift for anyone looking for a decorative travel product to enhance their home.
I would be happy to recommend this product to anyone thinking of purchasing a Push Pin World Map of their own.

Do you know any promo codes, yours does not work? Thanks
There are no promo codes at the moment - sorry
We have looked at several different map options to keep track of our travels. This looks like something I might be happy to have on display. The world map does look big enough to properly map our travels around the world. I love that you can mark cities and not just countries to keep track of places still to visit.
It has taken pride of place on my wall. I have enjoyed pinning cities and towns that I have visited along with places that are still on my wishlist.
Recently, this sort of maps got really popular - for pins, scratching and more. Also, they are always included in those 'gifts for travellers' posts that I rather dislike. And now this - something designed by a small team and made of fabric in high quality! It shows right away that this is a whole different story....albeit still the same world 😉
Yes this one really is of high quality and made with love in a small family workshop.
This would be the type of project I start with enthusiasm but then never maintain. But I’d imagine that having a map in these times would be quite motivating and inspirational.
Hi Angie
What a great idea this is, especially at this time when travel options are so limited. I've just ordered one for Christmas for an elderly relative who is no longer able to travel, but will love reliving a whole lifetime of travels with this map.
That's a lovely thought. Its so much fun pinning and then when you glance up at the map you are suddenly transported back to a point and memory in life that has filled you with joy. Which colour did you go for?
This looks really cool! Not many pins to add for this year but hopefully will improve in the next few years. coolest xmas present idea Ive seen so far 🙂
This looks great. I love documenting my travels like this & am seriously tempted to treat myself to an early Christmas present! Yours looks lovely & I like that it's personalised for your blog too.
Go on treat yourself! I have loved tracking where I have been and where I still want to go. I have different coloured pins for each thing and I seem to have an awful lot of places to still go - not sure I will ever get to them all but here's hoping!
What a cool map and the personalization would make it a perfect gift too. I love the muted colors that would go with nearly any color scheme.
I would love to have one like that! I bought myself a big scratchmap once, but after using it a few times it started looking... weird and old, so I took it down 😛
Are you enjoying yours?
I love it. I also had a scratch map firstly but it ended up looking tatty and I took it down. This map is like a statement piece for your wall. I am enjoying pinning everywhere I have been and realising that there is so much more of the world I must explore!!
Hi Angie’
How long did it take from point of order to delivery?
I am thinking of getting one as a gift before Christmas 🎄
Thanks
Don
It took about 6 days to arrive. It was packaged really well with bubble wrap and cardboard. I would definitely recommend purchasing one for Christmas. Don't forget to use my discount code ANGELA10 for 10% discount off any of the maps online.
I'm rubbish at gift ideas, and I do love a discount. I'm sure it will make a great gift. Thanks again for the gift idea.
I am glad you like it. Its a surefire winner for anyone who loves to travel.
