Are you ready? Adventure is calling your name

Wake up with the sun. Roll out of bed. Make a cup of coffee. Enjoy the peace and quiet early morning brings.

Are you ready? In 3, 2, 1 you yell: “Time for an adventure, baby!”

You could be yelling to your partner or your dog, or maybe even to yourself. The who, where or what is neither here nor there, all that matters is adventure is calling, and you respond with a resounding “HECK YEAH!”

With a spontaneous adventure, it doesn’t matter if you go this way or that. Whichever way you wander, whichever direction your feet take you, there’s so much joy to be found in those little, unplanned moments.

Isn’t it funny how it’s often the unexpected adventures, not pencilled into our calendars or planned months in advance, are the ones that become core memories, ingrained into our very being?

So, think of this email as a call to arms. Your spontaneous adventure doesn’t have to be this weekend or the next, but soon… soon.

If you’re a bit apprehensive at the thought of heading off into the unknown, don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here are some baby steps you can take to help make your next spontaneous adventure go off without a hitch.

1. Wake up one morning and decide today’s the day.

2. Pick a direction – north, south, east or west – it’s up to you. Even adventuring one hour out of the city or wherever you live can seriously recharge your soul.

3. Grab your phone, open the Hipcamp app and book a place to stay. From tent camping to cabins, treehouses and glamping, you can easily book a last-minute place to rest your head for the night, somewhere secluded, off the grid where you can be one with nature.

4. Pack an overnight bag with the essentials, map out a public transport or driving route and…off you pop.
