This is an email swap with 30 questions to answer. You’ll send your swap to 3 partners by email, Swap-bot message, or a link to a blog post. I saw most of these questions in an article about ice breaker activities, and I thought they’d be fun to answer.

Please answer all of the questions in English, and be as detailed as you care to be. Most are open-ended questions, so you could write a few sentences for many of them.

Sign up by January 25th and send by January 31st. Rate promptly! Here are the questions, so you can prepare your swaps any time and be set when partners are assigned.

Open to all with minimum 4.9 rating and no unresolved 1’s or 3’s. Newbies welcome with detailed info on their profiles. I reserve the right to make exceptions and will angel if necessary.
