About Mappin’ Adventures
Stories Worth Wandering
Mappin’ Adventures is a slow travel brand built for people who love vintage maps, retro travel ephemera, and the quiet magic of small-town America. We turn old paper trails into cozy modern journeys through story, video, and collectible goods.
How the journey began
What started as a fascination with old maps and forgotten brochures became a storytelling project about place, memory, and the roads between them.
Chapter One
Following old paper trails
We began with the kind of objects most people pass by: folded highway maps, souvenir brochures, handwritten notes, and travel guides with worn edges. Each one held a different version of America waiting to be rediscovered.
Chapter Two
Turning research into stories
From there, Mappin’ Adventures grew into a cozy editorial world of virtual journeys, map curiosity, and small-town storytelling. The goal is simple: help people travel slowly, notice more, and enjoy the charm of the overlooked.
Chapter Three
A bureau for fellow wanderers
Today, the brand blends content and keepsakes for a community of armchair travelers, collectors, and curious explorers. The team’s work spans The Map Room series, thoughtful products, and a nostalgic point of view rooted in wonder.
Our team
Small team, big curiosity
Mappin’ Adventures is shaped by a creative team that loves cartography, Americana, and the emotional pull of places that feel both familiar and forgotten. We research, write, film, design, and curate with the same care you would give a favorite keepsake.
Whether we are tracing a roadside route, studying a mid-century brochure, or building products for fellow explorers, we aim to make every piece feel warm, thoughtful, and worth returning to.
