Laura Danieri Travel adventure? Yes, please. It is good for the soul to stretch yourself, try something that pushes you outside of your comfort zone. Moreover, when you make yourself try something new, you get a little rush that is absolutely invigorating. And, I promise you that driving an ATV (above) was waaaaaayyy outside my personal comfort zone! Make it one of your Everyday Resolutions to add some travel adventure to your life.
I was recently on a trip with a group of women, all of us over 50. We truly went on adventure. And trust me, we are not a group of hardcore adventurers. We are just normal, average women excited for a travel adventure. The only thing that made this work is that we made the decision to go for it!
We rode zip lines, went white-water rafting, rappelled down waterfalls. (When I got to the bottom of the first waterfall, my legs were shaking from the adrenaline dump into my veins, lol.) Next, we went whale watching and rode ATVs up and down steep rutted trails in the rainforest on a waterfall hunt.
It was crazy and we were all very nervous at one point or another. BUT, we did it! We all conquered our fears and had an amazing time. Furthermore, we all felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was beautiful.
I encourage you to do something to get an adrenaline charge. It doesn’t have to be rappelling down a waterfall but it could be something that fits into the category of travel adventure. Or, it could be something completely different yet new.
For example:
- Take a lesson and learn something new….maybe salsa lessons?
- Take an exercise class that you have never tried before.
- Sign up for a sports team.
- Enroll in an art class.
- Write a short story and submit it to a magazine.
- Try your hand at a new recipe and serve it to your friends.
Get out there and be brave!!
Travel adventure is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. Travel never disappoints. In fact, I think it must be time to plan another trip.
