Description:

So this is going to be a journal swap. And the swap will be open for two months.

Make sure you're journal has at least 60-80 pages in it. As you're going to be filling it up quite a bit!!

It can be a small lightweight journal. At least a 5"x7" size. International is welcome.

What you're going to do with this journal is pretend you're traveling around the world in 80 days.

You're first page is going to start off where you're leaving. Describe where you live, what's around you, etc.

Next page is going to be your next destination. Get pictures to print off the internet and paste into your journal. Fun facts about the place you're going to. Fun things to do. Make an itinerary.

You have an unlimited budget. You can fill up 2 or three sheets worth on what you plan to do at your next stop. I'd say around 2 to 3 sheets. Describing about the town, the population, what it looks like.

So you're going to have to do a little bit of homework on the places you plan to go.

Please do include different countries and not just within your same zone. This is Around The World! Say you want to go to Russia. Tell your partner in this journal. Where you went to, the town/city/village. What you plan to do there, a few pictures printed off or a postcard you might have. What fun things to do, the shopping, the markets, the sights, etc.

Make it fun, make it interesting. And maybe learn a few things about the places you plan to go in this journal!!

If you have ANY questions or if any of my explanations were not clear. Please do comment or PM me and let me know and I will try to explain further.

Please fill up your journal. Make it nice, something you would be proud to receive yourself!

1 Partner, 1 Journal.

Open to all members of good standing within the group. Flakers will be shot! You flake, you get banned and you get a bad rating and reputation. Not worth it, so please don't do it, especially in my group!

OMG! This is going to be way too much fun! I can't wait to get started. Thanks again for inviting me to join. I just love journals.

Since this is not profile based you can start now on your journals!!

Wow! This is going to be incredible. Can we make our own journal? Can we jump around from place to place, or do we need to have a "real" itinerary? You say 60-80 pages, so it's okay to write on both sides, correct? And how will we be able to part with our journals???? :)

Yes you can make your own journal and I would like to be like a real itinerary! If you mean jump around like to Russia and back to halfway across the world...this is your vacation! lol. But I would like you to spend a couple pages on one place. Maybe paste some postcards on a page in a town where you'd like to go to, etc!

Yes you can write on both sides!

And yeah it's going to be hard to part with them, but it will be fun anyways!

WOW, this sounds like an amazing swap! I love traveling so much and making up fake trips is what I do best. I really like to dream :) I am going to watch the swap for now to see if I have enough time in the next few months. Great idea for a swap @weeatcrayons
