ToyVoyager Trails

From ToyVoyagers:
The very first ToyVoyager Trail (TVT) was created by one of our members - SilverWings - who thought of the whole concept, and then produced a very detailed plan of how the whole thing would work. (See individual Trail posts for details of how each one works.)

The basic idea is that instead of looking for individual hosts, you can send it to the first host on one of the TVTs and they will send it on automatically to the next host listed on the Trail, until the Trail is completed.

If you would like your ToyVoyager to join a Trail at a different starting point (e.g. you wish your ToyVoyager to join at #4 and travel to #5,#6, etc and then start back at #1,#2,#3) then contact the Trail Co-ordinator and find out whether this is possible.

You are able to request your ToyVoyager back at any time, and your ToyVoyager will not be released 'into the wild', unless you specifically request that this should happen.

And all you have to do (after the initial sending of course) is sit back and watch the Travelog develop before your very eyes!

Aaron is a very sociable ToyVoyager, who is far happier having fun with people than just sitting around.

Orked is the first ToyVoyager to travel on the USA ToyVoyager Trail - an idea thought up by one of our members, Silverwings. Trails are a great way of getting your ToyVoyager's adventures off to a flying start.

Fame in Spain

ToyVoyagers made it in Spain! It is featured in http://www.diariodelviajero.com/2007/03/14-toyvoyagers-juguetes-viajeros

Isobel&Neil did a translation through FreeTranslation.com and here is the result:

What are the ToyVoyagers? That same question I I did me nothing more to enter to the official page. Therefore, surprisingly, they are toys that travel by everyone using to the people as transportation.

Each ToyVoyager has a blog, or travelog, in which goes relating its adventure.

The idea consists of that all that traveler that a ToyVoyager be found carry it with himself, bring up to date the blog with the adventures of both, and then leave it in a place where can be found for another traveler.

Each ToyVoyager carries an identifying number, with the one that we will be able to agree to bring up to date his travelog if is that we have found him. Also we can create our own ToyVoyagers and to activate them since the official website.

There are some very amusing, with nice photos that show to the muñequitos in different places of the world.

Frida

From ToyVoyagers:
The first ToyVoyager I've hosted, the hand puppet Frida. Frida was here, Frida was there, it looks like Frida will eventually go everywhere.

The intrepid handpuppet's journey has got off to a flying start, taking in Germany and Malaysia (great photos) and looks set to continue at pace.

It's a clear message to all those handpuppets that go into storage at the end of the holiday camp cabaret season - we can't wait to watch more of Frida's trailblazing adventures as they unfold!

Life Missions (1 out of 5 complete):
Incomplete: Fly in a balloon
Incomplete: Go ice-skating
Complete: Meet a famous person

What are ToyVoyagers?

Siti Semut in Alps (Thanks to Christina for the great pictures)
I almost forgot that I didn't explain what are ToyVoyagers here. There's no words can describe it better that the one from the website, so here you go:

ToyVoyagers are toys travelling around the globe using people to help them on their journey.

How does it work?
Each ToyVoyager has a travelog on this website which becomes a history of its journey. The idea is that anybody who finds a ToyVoyager adds to its adventure by taking it places, updating its travelog and then releasing it to somebody else.

You also can check the interesting and cute website here yourself ^-^
