What speaking looks like when you stop optimizing everything from my desk

I tried this in Manila with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. The Toronto example makes it feel concrete.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. The busy month version is even more interesting.
