Adventure Just For Fun
Wend Magazine
Wend Magazine – Not your typical travel magazine.
In travels magazines quests to be unique, they all end up being the same. Many are filled to brim with ads, have more “top 10” lists than articles, and lack inspiration. Short of some great travel photography, many of these magazines fail to really inspire any of my senses. Dare I say many of them are like a bad trip? And I don’t mean the kind you pack for.
Wend magazine is like a breath of fresh air in the travel magazine genre. …

Extreme Unicycling
Here is your weekly dose of insane video fun. This week’s video is comprised of dare devil of sorts, Kris Holm, extreme unicycler. This guy can do more with one wheel than I can do with two feet.

Volunteer for an Adventure Travel
More travelers are looking to combine volunteerism with adventure travel for a more meaningful experience. This can be a win-win situation for all. According to a survey by “The Voice of Travel Survey” as posted by the Travel Wire Industry 47% of participants (ages 35-47) were interested in taking a vacation that allows them to volunteer. Can you imagine the difference between a holiday spent on the beach or sunning by the pool versus learning how to carve a canoe with the natives as you work with local children to learn the ancient skill? You’re also gaining invaluable experience while making a difference in your destination. Not only is beneficial to those who volunteer and those who receive the services, it’s also a great way to experience travel and adventure without spending lots of money.
Adventure travel that is fulfilling, where the positive impact is not placed only on the traveler but also on the people and places being visited, can lead to even more challenges and fulfillment. Embark on journeys that give greater freedom to mind, body, and spirit such as ringing birds on the Greek island of Antikythira. If that’s not your forte then how about
