Update #1 · Aug 2, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello to all of our followers and backers! It’s been an incredible first week in which we reached 36%! We are receiving great feedback from our followers and this kickstarter campaign has been an exhilarating experience so far.

The NEW Rewards: 

For only $1, we are doing a name exchange! You give us your name and we’ll swap names with a voyager! We’ll give you his name and pass it to you over the blog. You can use nicknames if you like! 

$10 Reward: 

We are happy to announce that we are adding a DIGITAL POSTCARD download to the $10 Reward tier!

Along with the exclusive blog updates, you will also receive the digital postcard of a voyager along with his name and a small life biography about him.

Thank you so much for the support.

P.S – For all of you who already pledged $10, you will still receive the digital postcard!

      Hi Cassie!
      This is how the name exchange works. We'll take your name, 'Cassie', and write it on a piece of paper and exchange with one of the voyagers we meet. The voyager who get 'Cassie' exchanges her name with you. In return, you will get her name over the internet. So, if a voyager named Ivana gets 'Cassie', then you'll get Ivana!

      We thought this was simply and fun way to get everyone more involved and to make a unique connection with someone so far away! This is what our project is all about.

      Wait! I'm afraid I don't quite understand the $1 reward? What do you mean by swap names?
