100%. there are so many adventures right in your own backyard... think of this: people pay money (probably) to travel where YOU live! I started a backyard adventure project, where I go somewhere with a reasonable driving distance that I have not seen.... once a month at minimum. There are so many things right HERE.
Well said - I agree with you fully (hence I call myself a wanderer); I wanted to add something; I had a similar thought when I was hiking a few days ago in the same area we usually do; however, we took a new trail - well, not new, just one we haven't used in a while - , and even that small change made us see the same area from a different perspective. That simple shift, (just as a shift in any everyday activity to look at it from another angle), tricks our mind to feel it's experiencing something new. Also, in your case now, I think seeing the world with your three-year-old makes every day an adventure. Enjoy it! :)
A wonderful addition. I don’t know why I find that phenomenon so remarkable but I do. I think it’s just being amazed seeing things in new ways and yeah, being able to see things now through the lens of a child is also a remarkable gift. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Through travel, I’ve learned to see things differently, no matter where I am. I call it “living outside of the box.” 😊

Completely agree with you Justin! You’ve inspired me to start planning my next small adventure. 😍
That is lovely to hear that feedback. Thank you Grace!
