very nice article. I have the same feelings about what's going on, and I hope I can find the time to finish a blog post about all the opportunities the covid19 / socialdistancing can bring ( i also find that i have less time now, that i am always home.. ) which matches with a speech i am preparing for my Toastmasters path ( Focus on the positive :-)

Thanks for your kind words, Davide.

Good luck with the Toastmasters. I couldn't attend it since I moved to another country, but it changed my life! What is your path?

I choose / got innovative planning. In the new pathways, dunno if you already tried the new format. But yes, it is a life changing experience. Antibes looks coll, where did you move from?

I've seen the new format at one meeting at a local group, but I don't know much about it (in a few years the schedule will work for me:D). Yet, the name innovative planning sounds exciting.

Antibes is nice, you have both the sea and the mountains nearby. I came here from Budapest, Hungary and that's also a great place, but for different reasons. How about you? I see you are an expat in Germany.

yes. I come from Miland, nothing so special actually but still relatively close to mountains and sea, and I ended up in Northern Germany - Hamburg - which is a super nice city - but the landscape around rather flat for someone that loves everything mountain-related. I guess I am a bit stuck until kids are out of school, then who knows where we will move :-)

I love Milano. We really enjoyed aperitivos over there :) And I also saw there probably the most bizarre stuff I have ever seen. There were some big advertisements on the streets (I think in the Northern suburbs) about funeral sales. You know you could buy coffins and stuff. On sale. I couldn't have fit any in our trunk!
