Description:

Hello everyone! So this swap is a flat mail package sending some local knowledge of your state - and receiving first hand information about your partner's state in return! A great resource if you ever want to travel, or just to hear about.

This swap is one person per state – so when you sign up please post your state below! Anyone who hasn’t or any repeated states will be dropped.

So what you need to include:

  1. 1 touristy postcard from your state – something you can send home when you visit! (so unwritten)

  2. 1 picture you have taken somewhere in your state. Doesn't have to be a destination spot, could be your backyard or anywhere. Just somewhere in the actual state.

  3. 1 flat state or profile related surprise. (few stickers, a notecard, etc.)

  4. 1 letter (handwritten or typed fine) including:
    • A little bit about you: have you lived in the state long? What’s your town like?
    • Your description of 3 of your state’s top vacation destination spots (a quick Google search helps if you’re stuck!) You can choose places you have visited before or have not. Make sure you mention: Have you visited there before? What can you do/see there? Did you like your trip, would you go again? Have you heard good things about it from others, or is it a “tourist trap”? Any sort of tips on the place? Etc.
    • Describe same as above 2 not so popular tourist destinations for your state. They don’t have to be completely unknown, just perhaps some place not as common for someone who lives halfway across the country.
    • Pick 1 state stereotype – is it true?

I’ll be checking participants – but I’ll put the disclaimer that I will angel if necessary. Please have at least a 4.95 and no recent unexplained 1/3s. As the host I have the right to remove anyone from this swap I deem questionable.

Don’t forget to comment your state below!
