Two Months in Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa
Escaped the European winter for the southern hemisphere summer. Two months of ocean, mountains, and a different pace. Table Mountain became my office view. Sometimes you need distance to see things clearly.
The Escape
European winter is brutal. Southern hemisphere summer is not. The math was simple.
Two Months
Long enough to not feel like a tourist. Short enough to not get comfortable.
Table Mountain
Became my office view. Worked from cafes with mountain views. Hiked when I needed to think.
What I Learned
Sometimes you need distance to see things clearly. Problems that seemed huge in Berlin felt smaller with an ocean between us.
The Vibe
Different pace. People move slower. Conversations last longer. Something about being at the edge of a continent.
