About Enabling the How
Our call to action at 5th Place is to focus on developing emotional fitness and mental well-being in order to create positive change in the world. Join us, Chantal and Matthew, co-owners of 5th Place, in our escapades every week as we stumble and trip, dance and whirl our way through very normal and not so normal weeks in their drive to make the world a better place. This “How” comes in many different forms and in this case it comes in the form of sharing life, loves, and loss. It’s also a whole lot of what living is like in South Africa.

Connecting the dots
The first Springbok rugby game of the season had us down in Cape Town. Also to meet with networks and contacts on the business front. It was an opportunity to connect many dots from our past.
Down for an upgrade
A blocked nose proves to be more than an allergic reaction and sets off a series of grumbles and resistance to being unwell. Accepting the state of affairs makes it easier to relax into the upgrade.
Mountains to climb
A long weekend with family in the mountains offered ample opportunities to walk, mostly uphill. It may not have been easy for us “flat-suburbians” but doing it brought a sense of satisfaction.
Fitness training
Feeling felled by some heavy weights we retreated to our separate corners to sit through the discomfort. A coding catastrophe nearly timed us out but our fitness training pulled us through.
Walking it off
To retain the benefits and essence of our time away we go for short afternoon walks. These support and sustain us. We went for a walk through the Wits Art Museum to step between the cracks of the past
Richmond riches
The last leg of our road trip took us to Richmond, a crumbling town hiding treasures and surprises if you just stop to look.
By George
Our road trip landed us in George, the gateway to the Garden Route. A time to catch up with friends, relax with family and discover what had changed since our last visit and what had stayed the same.
A princely visit
Our road trip takes us to Prince Albert, a tiny town in the Karoo. A town of surprises and delights, it filled our few days there with friendly faces and interesting insights.
On the road again
An annual road trip starts with a stopover at a place that offers so much more than expected. We leave reflecting on our history and the forces of nature.
