The term adventure travel is my new favorite buzz term. But not the way it's being used by the travel marketing gurus. It's not just reserved for cool gap-year hipsters or folks in mid-life crisis. It's about throwing away the travel guide and the online reviews. About realizing that even if you are in a new country or city you are not on Mars.
Really, anyone can add adventure to their travel and it doesn't require some over the top physical activity. It just requires a little less planning and letting go of what we know. Safety and practicing common sense doesn't mean you have to travel in a bubble.
