Tour is an animal that brings you joy and fulfilment but also makes men in their 40s feel like men in their 40s. Whats the longest amount of time you’ve been away from home over the course of a year? Is traveling constantly something that is amazing and healthy or more like A debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden?
