PocoPiquant

Hi, I'm Danielle. I joined swap-bot a decade ago and forgot all about it. I like meeting new people and have swapped on other sites in the past. I'm back here because I'd love to do it again!

Some basics about me: I’m an early 80’s baby, or as I like to say, geriatric millennial (Xennial, I’m on the cusp). I’m also a Libra and while not too serious about it, I do have quite a few stereotypical Libra traits. I’m Puerto Rican and very serious about it. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

I’m a wife, daughter, my mom’s full time caregiver, & fur mom. I’ve got two small rescue dogs, Magnolia (Maggie) and Roxanna (Roxy) & a cat, Furguson. Yes, like in New Girl. Those 3 little monsters, as well as my 18 nieces and nephews, bring me a lot of joy. I’ve wanted to be a parent since preschool, and my wife and I are on a quest to add children to our family.

Some things I love the most outside of the above are: sunshine, the ocean, plants and more plants, learning, reading, science, 🧬, hiking, community, justice, advocacy, and LIBERATION. Kindness over niceness. I am spiritual, and was raised super Catholic but am not deeply religious.

My educational background is in biology and my second career is as a social worker for youth experiencing homelessness.

Random likes: Little cafes, coffee, Earl grey and non-flowery herbal tea, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and Japanese foods are my favorites, soft, fuzzy socks (no wool or acrylic though), silly socks, Disney, Sanrio (faves: Hello Kitty & Pochacco), Pokémon, sharks, dinosaurs, animals in general, especially cats, dogs, chickens, impressionist art, my favorite colors are turquoise and pink

I like lots of different music genres from pop, hip hop, reggaeton, bachata, alternative and nu-metal, to classical and instrumental.
