We want to explore life outside the routine of a city, in conversation with adventurous people: bike traveller, digital nomads, off-grid living, van-life and any other form of living that required spirit of adaptation and instinct to survive.
A family left Germany to live in the Colombian countryside. They collect rain water and sell plantain from their land.
All the Europeans regulations make them feel powerless, wishing to gain more control over their lives they looked for a very different way of living. Closer to nature and their needs.
What’s adventure?
Queralt sees adventure as something to be done with friends and our conversation made me think about it.
I love solo trips to challenge myself more and find strength in me and me only. But I guess that has some limitations.
For example I noticed I remember more when I’m sharing experiences with someone else.
When I’m on my own my mind set on survival mode and I too often forget to enjoy the moment for the achievement of climbing a mountain, or cycling farther.
I hope this episode will make you think of what’s adventure for you.
