There’s a lot to love about having a steady everyday routine. But it’s also important that we break from that routine every now and again. After all, life is for living, and we owe it to ourselves to make the most of our time on this planet. And one of the best ways to do that is to have as many adventures as we can.
If it has been some time since you went on an adventure, then this page is for you. Below we’ll outline some key ways to keep your adventure cup overflowing.
Travel Solo
For various reasons, people are generally pretty reluctant to travel by themselves. But there’s a lot of value in doing so. For one thing, you’ll be challenging yourself, and invariably you’ll learn that you’re a lot more capable than you thought you were! Sometimes, we just have to throw ourselves off the deep end and see what happens. Of course, there are some places where, for safety reasons, you shouldn’t travel by yourself. But so long as you choose a safe country, you’ll find that the adventure it takes you on is highly rewarding.
Head into Nature
You can very much find adventure in your city (more on that below), but for a quick and easy way to have an adventure, take a look at going into nature. No matter where you live, there’ll be a green space nearby. All you’ll need to do is pack some supplies, put on your hiking boots, and get out there. You’ll get bonus adventure points if you spend the night camping under the stars. It’s a fantastic way to remind yourself of just how amazing life can be from time to time.
Spend Time in Another City
Another option is to consider spending a considerable amount of time in another city. If you have a remote job, then this will be easier to set up than you might think. You’ll just need to rent out your place for a couple of months, and then find somewhere to stay in your chosen city. That shouldn’t be difficult, since there are furnished apartments available in all major cities across the country. You’ll have the security of knowing that your home life is still waiting for you, while also getting to enjoy an entirely new city. Although it’s possible that you like your new city so much that you decide to move there full time!
Off the Beaten Path Destinations
It’s also recommended to look at travel destinations that are slightly off the beaten path. Visiting London, Paris, or Rome is all good and well, but you’ll be going into those places with a strong sense of what to expect. On the other hand, if you visit somewhere that isn’t on the usual tourist trail (say, North Macedonia), then you’ll find that it’s inherently interesting and adventurous, all because you don’t have any preconceived notions of what to expect. It’s a big world out there, so pick a random place and get going.
