For my 50th, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of a big party, I'm heading somewhere I can unplug, get outside, and celebrate this milestone with a real change of scenery. A few days in the Cederberg feels like exactly the kind of reset—and adventure—I had in mind.

Q&A

Fifty felt like a good excuse to trade the usual birthday routine for something completely different. I wanted fresh air, open space, and enough adventure to make the milestone memorable.
