Let’s exchange some kindness and connection.

January Joy: Uploads

The Idea

It’s simple: let’s share a little kindness with others in the travel industry, which has been hit unbelievably hard. January is normally a low time for tour directors, guides, and tour operators. If you’d like to participate, all you need to do is mail a small gift to another person, whose name and address you’ll receive. In return, you’ll also receive a random gift from someone. Result? We’re all a little happier, and we’ve made a new connection.

What should I send?

The idea is something surprising and lovely, not expensive. It can be anything!

  • Something homemade, by you or someone you know.
  • A gift card for a virtual tour you’ve created.
  • Something local, that allows you to share a little bit about where you’re from!
  • Finally, you can either remain anonymous, or share a little bit about who you are, where you’re from, what you do, and make a new connection!

How it works

  1. Submit your name, email and current mailing address on the form.
  2. On Friday, January 1 you’ll receive the address of another person.
  3. Find a little gift and mail it by January 15th!

Then over the month, hundreds of travel industry professionals will receive a random spark of joy.
