Inspiration comes from many sources in our lives and to me I have always been very receptive to my surroundings. Be it the street musicians rocking out along Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, or the ambient sounds of prayer wheels being spun in Nepal. The images of our lives are culminations of our experiences from many sources. These experiences make us who we are. There are so many different mindsets on exactly what an adventure is, all based around your interest. To one a lengthy logistical ice-climbing expedition to Patagonia might just be your choice. While to another a simple loading up the car and head out to climb Devils Tower over a long weekend is your extended idea of an adventure. Whatever it is as long as you are out traveling in your own style is all that matters. We only ask that you get to know the locals and immerse yourself into the local culture while you are there, where ever there might be. Take some time from your adventure and meet with the natives, stay with a host family, and engage in some local practices. You will be absolutely awe struck by the experience that you will gain.
To us really getting out there, seeing something new, being a complete outsider trying to understand the local ways, customs, people, and yes coffee, is what is an adventure to us. There are countless areas around the world that we can gain this cultural immersion, but we have choice our top 5 destination to get out there and get immersed.
