Adventure Awaits in 2019

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”

Mark Jenkins

Amen to that and let me say, I am not worthy. Despite growing up abroad and some grand travels to far away places I am not yet satisfied. The ultimate adventure mentioned above where I truly push myself has not happened yet. This Anxious Adventurer project of mine is an exploration of what I have wagered and how far I have yet to go. There is something missing still and this will be my testament to try and scratch that itch.

With my new blog I can share a few funny stories of some wild times and extraordinary trips. I can share my photography and maybe some suggestions for your travels. But mostly I want to build a community of like minded people – people that try to live outside their comfort zone and do things that scare them just for the sake of growing. I call myself the Anxious Adventurer because I live to keep pushing that boundary. I am not yet satisfied. What about you?
