Things to do now that you're 50

Congratulations — you’ve hit the big 5-0! You’re halfway to a century and perfectly poised between experience and adventure. With wisdom on your side and curiosity still burning bright, there’s never been a better time to say yes to new things.

Learn to salsa, indulge your skin in a bath of donkey’s milk, or go sand-surfing in Brazil — throw caution to the wind and see where it takes you. Join a conservation project abroad and help protect one of the world’s wild places, give blood and save lives, brush up on your map-reading skills, or even land yourself a part as a film extra (after all, we all deserve our 15 minutes of fame).

At 50, the world’s still full of possibilities — so go out and enjoy them.
