Wow, so I am so totally blown away how awesome this exchange was. I can break it down into 3 reasons:

1) We met in real life! My snack gifter sent me a message that him and his wife were going to be in my neighborhood within a few weeks, and if I wanted, we could meet IRL to exchange... so we met today, and it was so much fun! Matt & his wife Rosanna were so nice, awesome, funny and we had such a nice time hanging out for a bit.

2) Matt went so above and beyond with snacks... I am still, like, totally speechless. He found out some of my favorite international snacks (some that I thought I wouldn't ever have again until I went back) and just blew my mind. I'm still processing that I'm eating some of my favorite Thai chips... spicy squid!!!

3) Included in my snacks were HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES. Matt even came up with a lemongrass & ginger ganache to put in a homemade chocolate with my favorite Thai tastes in mind. again, mind blown.

Thank you Matt and Rosanna so so so much! It was a pleasure meeting you guys, and I am going to thoroughly enjoy these treats for a long time!

Snacks were: various Thai chip flavors (including spicy chili squid, spicy nori, "mexican" flavor, etc), green tea kit kats, pocky (YUM), tamarind candies (oh, YUM), coconut rolls (YUM), and Goombay Punch (my favorite Bahamian soda).

THANK YOU!!!
