  • The Secret to Eternal Youth – Play the Game of Life (It’s Actually a Game not a Metaphor)

    The Game of Life is an awesome game. I’ve been playing it for a couple of years now but have slowed down since I started travelling. I managed a few decent sessions in Budapest but you really need to know people (usually) for longer than a few hours to get them to join in on…
