Can Travel Become an Adventure?
Yes, it's very possible to turn your travelling experience into an adventure. You can turn your trip into an adventure by swapping buses for bikes, probably in Amsterdam, try to eat street food in Bangkok instead of using the tourist restaurants or even take a wrong turn on purpose to explore hidden alleys in Rome.
Adventure Doesn’t Mean Dangerous!
There are different levels of adventure for beginners. For beginners it's advisable to start with Soft Adventure like engaging in easy hikes. After that, you can move to the next level of adventure which is Medium Adventure like scuba diving or mountain biking. Then, the last level is Hard Adventure. This is as adventurous as going rock climbing or wilderness backpacking. But it's very important to start from where you feel safe. It means you should pick your challenge level and start with soft adventure, and then use trusted outfitters.
