How to choose a sheet, and which places deserve a pin.
A state, for the weekends
A single state works when the places are close enough to share a sheet. Eight pins cover the cabin, the coast, and the town on the way.
Name a pin for the trip, not the whole story. A year and a place is enough.
The country, across the years
Twelve pins on a United States map leave room for the long drives and the short ones. Use them for the trips you would tell someone about, and leave a few empty.
Empty pins are not a mistake. They are the next place.
The world, still mostly open
Sixteen pins on a world map. Mark the places you have been, and keep the rest of the sheet quiet.
A continent map sits between the two, when one region has more of the story than a single country does.
