Great adventures don’t have to take you far from home. You and your family can create enduring memories just by taking a short drive and looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary. If you start to imagine yourself as a tourist in your own region, you’ll suddenly see it with fresh eyes and realize how much it has to offer.
In his book “Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes,” adventurer, author, and speaker Alastair Humphreys popularized the idea of miniature adventures, which are brief but exciting outings easily inserted into your life to break up your routine and keep life interesting. They don’t have to cost much or require extensive planning.
