Believe it or not, there is a way to keep your hobbies going, even if you can’t get out to a sports club, a bar or the movie theater. It’s time for a new project: the ‘man cave.’What is a man cave, exactly? It’s a space for you to devote to your interests and get out of the daily drudgery to enjoy some free time. Despite the name, anyone can have a man cave. Equip it with the comfiest seating and exciting entertainment and share it with your friends of all genders (once social distancing is no longer a thing). Make your man cave personal and atypical: after all, it’s the space that is all about you and your hobbies.
