There are so many awesome and exciting places this planet has to offer. Our lives are way too short to be stuck inside of an office for the rest of your life.
Finding time and different ways to schedule out some adventure time is very important for our mental health.
Read this article if you need some motivation and tips to get yourself out and adventuring past your comfort zone. Our planet has so much to offer and us humans have craved adventure for thousands of years.
Finding time in your busy schedule
Everybody needs some sort of household income to be stable and comfortable in this life. Whether you work from home or take on 60 hour work weeks, everyone still has enough time to discover new places.
You just need some motivation and a guide to get you out there.
We recommend to schedule out at least one weekend a month for a short little adventure trip. It could be only just a few hours out of your day. You don’t have to go far either. Just pick an area close by you have never explored.
Where are new areas to adventure?
We understand this also could be burden. You want to get out and adventure but you don’t have any idea of where to go.
Trust me there are hundreds of different areas, places, or events you could attend. If you live near the ocean look at maps and find a new beach to go to. If you are by the mountains, find a new trail to hike. If you live in the city, go discover a new bar crawl, restaurant, or park.
Adventuring does not have to just be in the wilderness.
You can discover so many new experiences in the city. If you do go adventure in the city, we recommend finding the means of transportation other than your car.
Go ride down a new bike path, paddle board in the nearby lake or canal, or simply just walk a new part of your city.
If you really think about it, I guarantee there are plenty of places you haven’t explored yet right next to you!
Here is a simple list: Bike paths, hiking trails, rivers, lakes, parks, new bars or restaurants, canals, mountain roads, beaches, islands, etc..
Exploring safe areas within driving distance
This is where you can really start to adventure new areas connected to nature and our ancestors. We recommend to always plan ahead to find places that are not only close but safe.
Sometimes residents in areas can be unwelcoming to strangers. Or you could inadvertently end up on somebody’s property without even knowing it. Always plan ahead to make sure you aren’t driving down someone’s driveway thinking its a new road to some untouched land.
Google maps offline mode
You can still have directions when you use google maps offline mode. This can be crucial between you getting lost and you finding your way home.
If you chart out your destination prior to losing service, you will still have the directions on your mobile device.
