Coffee – Why and How I Drink It
Growing up in Malta, I used to drink Nescafe instant coffee, which is pretty low-quality stuff, but that’s what was popular at the time.

The conversation around banks and crypto in Europe has changed completely since I first wrote about this topic back in 2020.

Building Muscle – My next Health and Fitness Project
Over the past 25 years or so, I’ve been practicing sports on a very regular basis. I’ve tried several different sports, with football and cycling being the main ones in my twenties.
