I turned 44 two months ago. About two months before that, I became single again (not by my choice). And before that I was made redundant at my job after 8 years of service. I don't have kids, so I've been taking some time off to travel and have some adventures.

I'm finding I'm still able to do a lot of things that might be surprising for this age. Basically I'm living now like I should have when I was 28 (when I was engaged, and working in some sh***y small time office job). I'm trying to defy father time for a little while longer and make up for lost time in failed relationships and office burnout.

One thing I discovered last month that I definitely cannot do anymore is go to a club in Hongdae, Seoul. There, they check your ID to see if you're over 30, and if you are, you're strictly denied entry. Couldn't get in (which was embarrassing) even though I was with four pretty Thai friends in their twenties (not so embarrassing, and shameless humblebrag to show that overall, I'm thriving at this age!)
