Backyard Adventure, It's a Thing.
It doesn't matter where, just go outside and appreciate where you are.
Just a quick one this week about appreciating where you are.
Does it have to be somewhere exotic?
Not at all.
In fact, I’m very much in favour of finding the adventure in your own backyard, no matter how mundane it may seem, you know.
No?
Ok, let me explain, maybe you can relate.
We all see things on the line about people in far off (exotic) locations enjoying some once in a lifetime experience.
This in turn makes us (or me, at least) feel that we’re not living our best life.
But you know what?
Everywhere is somewhere worth being and exploring.
Take where we are living at the moment here in the Swiss Alps.
Beautiful mountains, snow in winter, skiing, biking, hiking, cows with bells and raclette and fondue.
Yet, I find nyself missing aspects of my previous home (seen in the images in this post).
Which made me realise two things:
Appreciate where you are, when you are there, and
Exlpore those surroundings in the form of backyard adventures
You never know when you’ll miss it or when it’ll be no more.
That’s it for this week!

Anchored, Yet Free To Roam
On a recent family holiday to Italy, I caught myself thinking about how sailing might be the ultimate freedom.
