Living Like a Tourist in Your Own Town #109
Alastair Humphreys in his book MicroAdventures: Local Discoveries For Great Escapes says, "Adventure is a state of mind, a spirit of trying something new and leaving your comfort zone. It's about enthusiasm, ambition, open-mindedness and curiosity".
I think that invitation is a perfect frame for this idea. Wherever you live, mystery, possibility and adventure await you...if you choose to go looking for it. My wife and I first tried on this idea of living like tourists in our town by taking a Staycation. We booked a hotel three miles from our home, reserved a couple of massages at our athletic club, sat in the hot tub, ordered a few beverages, went to a movie and dinner and were home by lunch the next day to relieve the babysitter.
It was simple. It didn't take a lot of money. It did not require a lot of time and planning. It was incredibly restful and encouraging. It unlocked this idea for us and I hope you will try it on for yourself.
In your town there are (within a one to two hour car/train ride)...
Museums Restaurants Clubs Volunteer opportunities Music Sporting events Rivers Trails Roads Parks Unexplored towns Food trucks Historic buildings High school sportsRid yourself of the excuse that you're...
