Step 1:

Get a Stenciled map of the city you're in.

You can get one from here http://www.jstormurbanmaps.com/collections/all

Or, you can 3D/2D print your own map if you have the requisite material.

Step 2:

Spray paint the map onto a white board/wall

Step 3:

Step 4:

Watch as people fill up the map with all the awesome places they've come from.

Step 5:

Et, voilà, you're done!
