I love how you also incorporated micro adventures. Many people scoff at adventure because they only think of large scale excursions that are high in cost. Travel and adventure are more obtainable than most people think.
Jacob... this piece is amazing. I especially enjoyed: "leave no room for regret" - travel really does feel like an existentially infallible pursuit. I've never regretted a trip, the good or the bad.
I recently wrote my own blog post trying to investigate a very similar idea to this post, however with a greater focus on the mortally dangerous type of adventure. It's funny, some of our sentences/rationale sound so similar - albeit you use some great sources to back-up your arguments, where I used none (sue me!). Anyway, if you get a chance I'd love if you could have a read, here's the link: https://nedemery.substack.com/p/our-stupendous-self-inflicted-trials
Thank you for the comment and for reading my work! It's always great to hear from a kindred spirit. You're definitely right: you have to take the good with the bad. Appreciate you sharing your own story, too!

Thank you for reading and for the kind words. Micro adventures are definitely underrated. You never know what will happen when you explore!

Hello Ned,

Brilliant. It's time to renew my simple adventures which so many were eager to join.
Thank you, Daniel! Best of luck with your adventures -- both simple and hard.
