Hello! My name is Lorena and I live in Tampa, Florida. I'm 29 years old and have a wonderful boyfriend named Sean. Here is some info about me.

First off, I would like to explain my bad ratings. During that time I was going through some difficulties and had to move immediately during that time for my well-being and safety. I was not thinking about swap-bot during those difficult times. I would like to redeem myself and I hope that you will not look poorly upon me. I love this website and I love swapping and I will not do anything to jeopardize that, ever. Hosts of swaps I would like to participate in: If you would like I can send you a handwritten letter and a little gift (that matches your profile likes) before you let me participate in your swap. Let me know. :)

I'm vegan (no meat or animal by-products). I love swapping vegan recipes.

-Geodes, minerals, abelone, fossils, animal bones and skulls (that died only of natural causes, of course)

The types of music I enjoy most is Punk, hardcore, grindcore, crust, d-beat, older blues music and older country music (no new country please), Indie, Shoegaze, Folk Punk. I enjoy so much more than this so feel free to send me a mix of what you like and mostly likely I would like a few songs on it.
