Meet Jeremiahworkhard



Swapbot Name: jeremiahworkhard
Age: 29
Country: Texas, USA
I collect: Old/new photos, post cards, unique knick knacks, one of of a kind items, charms (silver), things that I can put in Geocaches.
My favourite colour is: Purple
Please don’t send me: Pot holders, things from Wal-Mart (not saying you would, but you'd be surprised) I'm adventurous so I'm open to anything really, and if I don't like it later on I'll let you know :)
My hobbies/interests are: Photography, Wedding videography, pen-palling, hiking, gift giving, fishing the Gulf of Mexico, Christian studies, learning to dance, Finding the hidden things people miss everyday when they walk by.
I like to write letters about: Places I've been or havent been. Things I've learned or others have learned that I can learn from. I like writing about what people have a passion about. I find that I can learn so much from those who really love what they are talking about. I find it exciting and contagious sometimes. 

25 words or less, tell us about your personality: I am passionate and creative with strong convictions who seeks wisdom and treats others respectfully but isn't afraid to stand up for what I believe.

I am obsessed with: I'm easy to please if there is a story or meaning behind the item. But I like things that are 'antique' or rustic looking.
I can’t stand: pagan symbolism, flags, crude humor, nidity, superheroes
I love to make: decoupaged items, photos of interesting things, matchbox cameras, something out of nothing, nothing out of something :) New friends? <-----Hint)
I really don’t like: Vampires, superheroes, skulls, death
Anything extra? I think there is so much to learn from the people that cross our paths in life and where some see nothing, I see value and something to share. 
I am interested in private swaps

A few words on the kind of pal I'm looking for:
I'm interested in someone who has something of value(not monetary) to share and is willing to open up to someone who will try and value it as much as they do. I'd like to learn about places that I might never visit and learn languages that I might never use outside of a letter.  If you like to hear about adventures, triumphs, defeats, discoveries, mistakes, and weddings, then you'll like what I have to offer.
