What Is Adventure?


Here is a compilation from various sources that provide insight to the question:

What Is Adventure?

“Adventure is an exciting experience that is typically a bold, sometimes risky, undertaking.” -Wikipedia

Most people have a very limited view of what adventure actually is. Sure they know that doing death defying activities like sky diving is adventurous. They also know that travelling to exotic and far away places is also adventurous. But those are difficult adventures for the average person to experience.

If that’s all you think adventure is then you are less likely to go out and seek it and your adventures will be few and far between.

’I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in business, and even close at hand … Adventure is a state of mind and spirit. ’ Andre Gide


Whether you are hiking through the Sahara desert, growing an enterprise, or chasing your kids down your yard, choose to look every day with a sense of marvel and excitement. Dare yourself to do something out of the ordinary and breakaway from your everyday routines. This is what adventure means to us. Pursuing whatever you want out of life relentlessly and passionately. So to those that say adventure is only for those that hike through caves and trek through jungles, hear this. Adventure is a choice.
