I like to believe that my best characteristic is empathy. Although I can and have been perceived as highly opinionated person, all that stems from deep frustration with the lack of caring humans show to other humans. And, more importantly, humans show to every non-human living thing on this planet. So, this leaves me at times in a state of great despair and frustration. But I do enjoy life and would like to explore it to its fullest. More laughter, more travel, more cuisine, more languages, and more history. And every now and then, maybe do something really outside my comfort zone.
