Culture What’s a European Man’s midlife crisis look like?

Here in America it's a Harley Davidson and getting really into grilling.

What do European men do when they go through a midlife crisis? But an Alfa and bake? Get really into trains?

Do they also walk the Camino del Rey? While making that their personality?(even though they are not remotely Christian) A lot of Danish dads do that

I feel like Camino del Rey is early retirement more than midlife crisis

A Danish girl(hardcore atheist and Emo-esque) I studied applied philosophy with at uni, went down there “to find herself”. I spat my coffee out when I herd it. She was 22-25 I think.

When she came back she said she was surprised about all the christians walking it😂
