I live in a tropical area. I have 4 dogs and a parrot. I walk often in nature preserves. I am an environmental advocate. I spend my time removing invasive species and planting native plants on my property. I am depressed about US politics. I read too many dystopian books. I like to cook. I like good wine. I like to talk with people who enjoy philosophy and are liberal in thinking. I have traveled, but never to Asian countries. I am intrigued about Asian history and culture.
