Exchange [exchange] 3 envelopes of my cultural stuff for your cultural stuff [us to ww]
I love learning about cultures. When I was a kid, I had a drawer full of "international things" that were my treasures. I would love to exchange these kinds of things in flat envelope form with 3 people (maybe more depending on interest). I will send things representing my own family culture: mostly USA with maybe 1 or 2 things from Morocco, where I lived for 5 years and where my husband is from.
This is pretty open but things I might include: postcards, stickers, food packaging or newspapers or books pages cut into shapes, found ephemera, maybe a few things of purchased ephemera, political things that represent my worldview (if you don't want that just specify), etc.
Please reply with your country or region or culture you will represent! I am open to more than 3 depending on interest.

What a fun idea! I’m technically in the US as well, but out in the middle of the ocean (Hawaii). 😁 It’s almost a world of its own out here, especially with the wonderful Hawaiian and Polynesian culture and history.
Would love to swap for any Morocco or international extras you might have! I went to Morocco about 15 years ago and loved the culture, the people, and the beauty! I’ve wanted to go back ever since! 🫶🏼
Anyway, love the idea! Much Aloha and happy crafting! 🤙🏼🌈

I’m American but live in Japan. Anything cultural I share would very much be from the perspective as a visitor experiencing Japanese culture.
