One does not need to travel far to create an Adventure Mindset. But sometimes the perspective of traveling to new places can help you see things & do things differently. Travel adventures are fun, and great opportunities.
Burning Man is an event that happens annually in the Nevada desert. Although it’s the same location, it is never the same experience. At this point, I do consider myself a “burner” – as well as having been selected to attend the Global Leader Conference (2 years!) and to be a registered artist with my art installation on display on playa (and other Burning Man regionals – such as Washington DC’s Catharsis)
Did you grow up taking road trips with your family? Were the destinations places like the National Parks, or to visit the big “must see” attractions? When I read about full-time RVers traveling across America, so many stories are filled with advice to get the passes...
