Reading, writing, traveling everywhere and anywhere (in fact, I want to go to every continent, if not country, before I die),watching obscure movies, riding horses, trying to find a way to get rid of the ants that have invaded my kitchen (that is, without killing them), taking care of my animals (I have a bunch), learning, Bush-Bashing, and not eating poor and defenseless animals.
Does anybody ever really "meet" anybody on these things? Please.
