3 Ways to Have More Adventure in Your Life When You Can’t Travel

I love traveling, I’ve been lucky enough to have visited dozens of countries. Packing my suitcase and heading off on another adventure is one of my favorite things to do. But with the pandemic, flight prices have gone up, flights are being canceled more than ever, and it might just not be in your finances to plan an overseas adventure right now. If you’re still looking for that adventure feeling, keep reading to learn my suggestions of 3 ways to have more adventure in your life when you can’t travel.

Have a Staycation
Part of the fun of traveling for me is staying somewhere new and playing tourist. When you’re traveling somewhere and there for only a short period of time, there’s a real ‘seize the day’ kind of feeling where you know there’s a good chance you might not go back. You do more fun things in a few days than many people do all year living somewhere. Why not take that attitude but direct it in your own city? I’m sure there are lots of things you’ve never bothered to do because you have “forever” to do it. Rent a hotel or an Airbnb in a new part of town and start exploring! Don’t forget to look up the best wine tasting seattle area. You can even invest in a phantom 4 rtk to take special footage of your staycation!

Do Something Extreme
I’m sure there are plenty of things in your city or town that are extreme. You might be able to do a bridge climb, depending on where you live, which can be both thrilling and adventurous. Another bucket list thing you can do with your partner is skydiving and most cities have somewhere nearby you can do that. You could consider going in a helicopter, doing some extreme skiing, or even a bungee jump. The sky is truly the limit and you just need to think about what feels adventurous to you and learn more about what you have in your area.

Learn a New Language
Why not learn a new language, perhaps a language of somewhere you’d like to either visit or live in. This can be a great way to work towards a new travel goal when you’re just unable to justify a trip. There are tons of free resources you can use such as Duolingo, and also plenty of language learning videos on Youtube that you can watch. This can be especially motivating if you know you’ll be traveling there in the near future and can be a great way to improve your marketability in the job market.

Sometimes life can feel a little boring, especially if you’re stuck in the middle of a routine. I hope these tips inspire you to make your day to day life a little more adventurous.
