The Future of Travel Memories: Introducing the NFC-Enabled 3D Wooden World Map


For centuries, maps have been more than navigation tools — they’ve been a way to chart our stories, remember adventures, and dream about what’s next. But in the digital age, our travel memories are scattered across photo albums, social media feeds, and hard drives. Too often, they get lost in the noise.


The NFC-Enabled 3D Wooden World Map changes that.

It’s a handcrafted, 3D layered wooden map designed to be a centerpiece in your home, but with a twist — every pin can store and replay your personal travel memories through the tap of a phone.

 

How It Works

Each map comes with NFC-enabled pins representing locations around the world.

  1. Tap a pin with your smartphone,
  2. Our companion app instantly opens a curated gallery of photos, videos, and journal entries from that destination.
  3. Allow location-based Media Upload.
  4. Whether in 10 or 20 years from now, just scan the pin and relive your memories.

Whether it’s a honeymoon in Santorini, a family road trip across the USA, or a solo journey through Japan, your memories are just one tap away.

 

Why It Matters

Unlike social media posts that vanish into timelines, your map is a permanent, personal archive — shared only with the people you choose.

  • For Families: Relive vacations together, and pass those memories down to the next generation.
  • For Travelers: Create a tangible record of your journeys without sorting through thousands of files.
  • For Creators: Share curated public travel portfolios while keeping private moments safe.

Crafted from premium, sustainable wood in elegant finishes, the map is made to last. It’s as much a work of art as it is a piece of technology. With family sharing features, your children and grandchildren can add their own travel stories — making it a living heirloom.

 

It’s the intersection of storytelling, technology, and design — all anchored to a physical object in your home.

The NFC-Enabled 3D Wooden World Map is coming to Kickstarter this year. Early backers will enjoy exclusive discounts and limited edition finishes. Sign up on our pre-launch page to be among the first to bring this future-proof memory keeper into your home. Also you can back us on Kickstarter.

Your adventures deserve more than a folder on your phone. With this map, every memory has a place — and every place has a story.
