Sixteen artists, writers and thinkers have come together to create sixteen personal maps, plotting experiences and memories, rather than waypoints or routes.  
  
Created by Anna Gerber and Britt Iversen, co-founders of [Visual Editions](http://www.visual-editions.com/our-books/where-you-are?ref=protein.xyz), the unconventional maps have been collated into a book called [Where You Are](http://where-you-are.com/?ref=protein.xyz). Their aim was to capture the trail of information each person leaves behind and weave it into a cohesive, topographical story. In place of pages and chapters, the book is filled with artwork and essays that tell the stories of the contributors, and push the boundaries of modern-day cartography.   
  
Each contributor has clearly taken a different approach to the question: ‘What is your personal idea of a map?’, but the end product is a collection of stories, artwork and personal documentation of life events, designed to be spread on a table and delved into at your own pace.  
  
Visual Editions aren’t the only ones personalising maps – KLM’s [Must See Map](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/02/klm-s-must-see-map?ref=protein.xyz) which we looked at recently, allows friends to recommend destinations to you via social media, which can then be printed into a foldable hard copy for your upcoming adventure.
