Hello Friends!

This swap is especially for those of you who would want to know more about the different countries of the world! Yes I do know that one can actually do a quick search on Google etc but wouldn't it be nice if its more personal and hand written? Maybe you might want to be pen pals with your partner in the future, love collecting magnets of the world, share a picture that you snap or want to try snacks around the world or simply just want to have a little bit of fun, so why not join?!

=============================================

Here's what to include and share in your swap:

1) "Hello I'm from ______ ツ" note

Share with your partner (an a5-sized hand-written note, at least) where you are from, a few facts about your country, something about your country that others may not know off, something about yourself, your experience on swap-bot, etc. Keep it FUN!

2) Magnet-ooo!

A magnet from your country or the state where you are from. It could be ceramic magnets, plastic magnets and such but make sure you wrap it up carefully to prevent it from breaking. This is also for those of you who loves collecting magnets!

3) Snap-A-Pic

An instax or 4R picture of your place. *Suggestion by @mmdurio

Include a simple instax or a 4R picture of your home, streets, beautiful garden, anything that signifies a country to your partner. Pictures have to be of quality, no blurred or unfocused ones accepted.

Ultimately you can check with your partner if its okay if you send him / her a PC instead. But I strongly suggest you send a personal picture that you took yourself.

4) Share-A-Snack!

Include a snack, it could be candies, mints, biscuits, chocolates, granola bars, anything savory, uniquely to your country for your partner. Make sure you put it in a bag or wrap it carefully just it case it tears and spill everywhere. Also make sure you send a brand new item, at least 6 months before the date of expiry.. no one likes receiving expired items!

5) Pack-Em-Mail-Em

Now that you have completed steps 1 to 4, its time to pack your goodies and mail them. But of cause, do check your partner's profile thoroughly or direct message them if you need to. Remember this is a FUN SWAP, so don't think too much about it, just let loose and enjoy the swap!

=============================================

Something to note: *In case you are both from the same country, send something from your area, eg if both of you are in USA - Seattle and Vancouver.. do send something from your town. As of now, this would be an open swap to anyone and everyone's interested but if response if great, there's a high chance the next one would be one from each country (:

*Swap is only open to at least Swap-bot users of rating 4.8 and above, with no recent unexplained ones and threes for the past 6 months. We appreciate a well-filled profile as well (:

=============================================

Thank you for reading these information and have a great-great day! Sign up now!!

This looks like a great swap! I do have a question about the "Snap a Photo" portion. This would disqualify me, as I don't have a printer, unless you are stating it's okay to send a postcard which is a photo of the country? (I don't understand your final sentence suggestion.) Nearly all of the postcards of any quality that I can find here are basically photos on stock paper anyway, and that would be an awesome solution!

Hello @AveryHart Well as I've mentioned, @mmdurio suggested to include an instax / a 4R photo. It could be a good idea to share personal photos with your partner. Not personal as in "personal" but a scenery photo you take yourself (: Ultimately you can check with your partner if its okay to send a PC instead. I hope this helps! Come and join the swap (:

I did mean a personal a selfie, but that's okay

mmdurio 04/19/2015 #

Avery Hart CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid & Walmart are a few places that develop photos. You can up load them from your home computer or phone & pick them up when ready, usually in one hour. :)

What do instax and 4R mean?

Atropos 04/24/2015 #

I hope it´s okay if I join for the region I currently live in and not the one where I´m actually from? But to show some love for my tiny hometown I´ll be sure to include a few sentences about that as well.

mmdurio 04/25/2015 #

Jossie a 4r is a 4X6 photograph

I´m very sorry, but I have to drop from the swap for personal reasons.
