Are you taking the trips, and making the time to spend with your family? You have worked your whole life, and now is the time to spend a little foolishly when you can. Bring the kids or the grandkids to Paris, climb the highest peaks, fish the remote rivers, and set adventure mode to “on.”

Your Survival Guy is in Paris, and despite what you hear in the news about riots and the French economy, the city is alive and well; you just need to stay in my favorite arrondissements.
