Microadventures English adventurer Alastair Humphreys has coined the term 'microadventure' referring to short breaks enjoying nature (or just the city) closer to home. He states that modern people are really boring, and they don't appreciate the charm of being outside discovering or sensing their surroundings. Most people have lost their sense of adventure and they prefer sunbathing in a quiet beach rather than circumnavigate the globe. Nevertheless, if you have wanderlust, microadventures can be a great alternative. I have experienced wanderlust during my lifetime. A long time ago, I have quit my job to travel the world with my wife. Nowadays, living again in a big city and having a regular job, I miss those days wandering in exotic places and gaining cultural awareness. I have a hunch that these microadventures can be a good replace for travelling far away. There are wonderful places on your doorstep. Hidden gems within the city, scenic routes, national parks, the Andes mountain range, the coastline, etc. Thanks for reading and correcting my entry.
