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!!

I was just thinking of starting a similar swap when I have the money for it. Thank you for hosting such a great swap! I hope I can get together enough money to join it this week!

Could you just explain about the last part of the swap? The bit about the travel experiences/anecdotes. Is that relating to my area or travel in general? Cool swap. Im in!

This is probably a stupid question, but I imagine it HAS to be local? ... what if we live in an area where tourism isn't really a huge thing? I have to admit... it's kind of boring around here. :P

Hi Chester, it could be both but try to make it interesting. It would be good to include a more general account of your own travel experiences in life...for example where you have visited and where you'd like to go in future. And, brickles - what is boring to you might be interesting for your partner, but as the title of the swap suggests, it does have to be local.
