While I absolutely love tv, and I consider myself a real movie buff (especially 80’s and 90’s movies from when I was a kid), this life is too short to spend it all inside, sedentary and still. There are adventures to be had. If I can paraphrase one of my favorite TV show dynasties, our mission is to explore strange worlds, to seek out life and civilizations, to boldly go where only the brave have gone before.
Ok i’m a bit of a sci-fi nerd. But the point is you don’t need a spaceship to live a life that is bountiful in excitement, awe, and wonder. Adventure is out there. We love trying to do things that take us out of our comfort level and widen our perspective, challenge us and create memories and stories that we look forward to sharing with friends, family, ad our children and grand children and great grand children one day. You can do it too. Start with one thing and just keep adding on. Set goals to add something to your list of awesome adventures. Below you’ll find things we have done, and things we have yet to do. I hope they inspire you like they inspire us. And we will keep adding our new experiences here to help with that inspiration. – Jason

Something that is accessible to most everyone, some with modifications for those with special needs, is hiking, roaming, or wandering. It can be at a local park, a beach, a trail. National regional and state parks offer short and long trails for those that love to push themselves. Walking around a strange city, or a neighborhood local to home can give a great change of scenery.
For those who desire to experience the best there is to offer, there are major long distance trails around the world and mountains to climb at all levels. In the US the the Appalachian Trail on the east coast, Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and John Muir Trail on the west coast. and the Continental Divide ,The Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin, and The Grand Enchantment Trail in the western deserts are life-long aspirations for many around the world.
Internationally there are even more like Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain, The Dingle Way in Ireland,Lares and Royal Inca Trail in Peru are a very small few of many many trail systems around the world to explore.
