Hello!
Thank you for checking out my site! I'm a University Instructor and professional mapmaker of over 25 years and a certified travel junkie. A few years ago for fun I decided to make a map of my college Study Abroad trip to Europe. I located all the cities I had visited in Europe and mapped them out with the mapmaking software tools I use at work. The end result was really amazing. It laid out and displayed all my great memories of the trip. A few friends saw my map hanging in my home and wanted their own versions. A side hustle business was born! After reading Chris Guillebeau's book called "The $100 Startup" I decided to build this website and offer these maps to the world. I love maps and travel and I hope we can work together to create a special piece of art for you. Cheers! Scott Bridgewater, MA |

"When Scott Lussier creates a signature Passport Map, the goal is to tell a story. Not just of the places you visited and things you did, but the meaningful events and experiences – and moments – that form a memorable life."

"The good: More than photos in a computer or a key chain in a desk drawer, the maps keep the memory of a treasured trip alive, right there on an office or living room wall. Plus, they're beautiful.
"The bad: If you're a frequent traveler, you may have to put an addition on the house, something with a lot of wall space."

By working with her on a Passport Map, I was able to learn about these trips she took and also get her a special gift. Being a humble type, she'll never brag about her trips. But with this map hanging in her living room, people can see how cool she really is."
