What really matters (Part 2)
Living your life according to your values

We all agreed to meet at a specific place and before moving on to the restaurant for dinner. It worked like a charm and you almost didn’t need What’s App to find out where anyone was.
We had the same arrangement with friends in the second city we visited:
