Making a travel map using Mapbox Studio is incredibly fun and surprisingly quick to do. I was able to create this map in less than 2 hours this afternoon by tweaking the stock Mapbox Dark style to remove visual clutter (Roads, City Names, Buildings, etc). From there I uploaded a GeoJSON file that contained the US States outlines and names. To finish it off I used the built it Data Filter tool to select the states that I've visited in order to color them blue. To explore the map yourself it's availalble at:
