Description:

Hi and welcome to my swap. The previous travel swaps I hosted have went so well that I am hosting another one. However instead of two partners, there will be ONE partner to send to.

Please choose 3 ITEMS of the following to send:

*2 local picture postcards (unused)

*A detailed map of your local area

*An informative leaflet/brochure/pamphlet of where you live or closeby

*A souvenir from your local region (this could be anything , the sky's the limit of your imagination, so for example, pens, fridge magnets etc.)

*The front page of your local newspaper (any language)

*A mini travel guide book of your area (needs to be shop bought).

•Finally, (this is a compulsory part of the swap) at least one side of a small page (minimum A5 size) of your own general travel experiences/anecdotes.

More importantly, please make it nice for your partner and send NEW & UNUSED items only. In particular please put some thought into it as some members of my previous travel swaps have had packages where absolutely no thought had went into them, and were totally unrelated to their local area. So be fair, and considerate. Feel free to email with any questions. No unexplained 1's or 3's. And participants must have rating of at least 4.9. Anyone who doesn't meet the above criteria will be banned - no exceptions. Sorry to be strict but there are too many flakers about. Finally Happy swapping!!

Loved the last one I took part in so keen to sign up again!

I´ll join for Latgale, Latvia and being kind of a tourist here myself I´ll put a lot of care and all my collected information leaflets into it.

But I don´t know really what you mean with "mini-tourist guidebook". Could you include a link to an example?

(The area around here is not really ready for english speaking tourists so I could have some problems with finding one.)

Hi Atropos Basically, it is a small book with all the popular tourist attractions/photos etc and useful practical info. ( In the UK walk into a bookshop and you will come across hundreds of tourist guidebooks of different countries) - in your case if you can't provide this you could compile your own list of attractions/ photos , or even make up a DVD or cd of photos..the idea is to give your swap partner as much info as possible about your hometown/land. Hope this helps.

I hope you do this again early in 2012. Right now I'm too full up to take on another swap like this but it's a great idea!

Bombardette , I will definitely be doing at least another travel one in the new year - thanks for your interest!
