A personal traveler (PT) is a letterbox that stays with its owner. Some people convert retired traditional or postal letterboxes into PTs. Like any letterbox, a PT has clues that tell you how to get it. It can be as simple as asking the owner for the PT or difficult like a puzzle or a personal question for which the answer is not readily available on the internet.

You can, but it's not required, and most personal travelers do not have them. You will probably be getting the finder's stamp in your personal logbook as you also do an exchange and vice versa, but some some people like to keep a special logbook just for finders of their personal traveler.

From the Add Planted Letterbox page (always accessible from the Letterboxes menubar option), mark the box type as a personal traveler and fill in the rest of the blanks.

Depending on your needs, there are several methods to look up clues for personal travelers.

• If you want to look up the personal travelers for an individual member, pull up their logbook and change the page to view their planted personal travelers.
• If you are attending an event, the active personal travelers of other letterboxers who are attending the event will be displayed in a list near the right side of the event listing, just below the event details. If you are logged in, personal travelers that you have already recorded as finds will automatically be suppressed so you can focus on the ones you have not yet acquired.
• If you want to browse through a generic list of personal travelers, try using the Advanced Search page. Be sure to check that the search type is set to Traveler.

When you meet a fellow letterboxer at a gathering or on the trail, you have the opportunity to get their personal traveler(s). You may need to do something or solve a riddle or puzzle before the owner of the traveler will share the stamp with you. The clues in the personal traveler should tell you about any requirements necessary to get the stamp.

If the personal traveler is listed, you may record the find like you do for other letterbox types. Use the Record Find/Attempt link found under the Letterboxes menubar option.
