Turning everyday life into an adventure

Sometimes you just can’t make it to Tuscany, and you have to make the adventure come to you.

I’ve learned you can make life more adventurous by:  1) Making it a priority  2) Not settling for ordinary  3) Planning for fun.

Opportunities to spice up the everyday are found everywhere, from a downtown music festival bursting with undiscovered local talent to a picnic with friends in the park. And adventures are just around the corner, from an unfrequented route to work to a last-minute get-away for the weekend.

Then there are those time when you just have to create your own adventure. One night, my friends and I, tired of the go-to Redbox for entertainment, decided to have a movie on the lawn night. We had everyone bring $5 to pay for ingredients and made gourmet pizzas on the grill.

We played outdoor games, and set up a projector in the back yard with picnic blankets, pillows and a fire pit.

We just decided to do something different than the norm and went for it. It was one of the most memorable nights of the summer.

The same goes for traveling. If you want to see the world, see the world! Plan ahead, spend a little less on eating out or that new pair of shoes and put it towards an “adventure fund”. Start planning a trip to the place you have always dreamed about going. Get a travel guide, map, or itinerary and chart your course. Talk to a couple friends that might want to plan towards it too. Get your passport ready.

In other words, do something to take the first step towards a new adventure. A trip not only gives you something to look forward to but it also gives you something to think back on with unforgettable stories to talk about afterwards. Life IS an adventure; let’s go live it! What ways have you found to turn life into an adventure?
