Mannard

Mid 30's Black dude from Portland, OR. Nothing makes me happier than traveling, whether that be a weekend road trip or something longer. I can often be found reading travel guides to destinations I hope to visit in the future.

I'm new here, but am SUPER excited to start sending out swaps. This feels like a great opportunity to brighten someone's day.

-Quest Scouts: Scouting for Adults

-Geocaching

-Travel/Road Trips

-Board Games (Current Favorites: Kingsburg, Lords of Waterdeep)

-National Parks Cancelation Stamps

I love zombie (or zombie adjacent) novels, most often written by women. I like the story of the people living during the times of the zombie apocalypse more than "tactics" for survival.

In addition to zombie novels, I'm open to other dystopian or pandemic books as well.

I often prefer to read YA books, as they tend to be a little more hopeful and less doom and gloom.

-The Ocean

-Lighthouses

-National Parks

-Insects and Insect Taxidermy (Bugs on pins)

-Mario Nintendo Games

-1000+ Piece Jigsaw Puzzles

-Photographs

-Bright Fun Colors

-Large Stickers

-Muffler Men (Look them up! They're so cool!)

-World's Largests (Would love postcards from these!)

-Rainbows

-Icecream Trucks

-Mexican Food

-House Plants

-Bubbly Water

-Foreign Snacks (We do Universal Yum every month)

"Oh No! It's a Dude!"

At least, that's what I imagine some of you might be thinking. I don't see a lot of men on this site, but it sounded so fun that I joined anyway. Please know that I don't subscribe to stereotypes. I don't need to be send "manly" things, whatever that means. I like "cute" stuff (bright colors, pastels, florals) alongside what may be considered more masculine. All that to say, you don't need to alter what you would send me based on gender.

Please Don't Send...

Please don't send me anything religious. I respect you and whatever religion (or lack thereof) you subscribe to, and I hope you can respect me as well.
