Why Adventure Matters

Adventure may have less to do with where you go than with your willingness to leave the familiar behind.

Why Adventure Matters

TL;DR

  • Adventure is the experience of stepping into uncertainty, not necessarily danger.
  • It can involve simple actions like taking a new class or talking to a stranger.
  • Modern life often focuses on reducing uncertainty, while adventure encourages the opposite.
  • Adventure tests one's willingness to leave the familiar behind.
