It is believed that no two people are similar. We all have our own traits and personality that make us different,unique… And then there is that one (or maybe two) things we like most about ourselves. Mine is my knack for adventure. I want to think that I have this indomitable spirit for bold escapades.
Adventure is my morphine.So much of WHO we are is WHERE we have been. Cheers to more adventures!Allowing yourself to get lost in a foreign city is an adventure itself, right? – Stockholm, Sweden 2017
So what’s being adventurous? To me it is a lifestyle — someone who seeks happiness and thrill through new experiences… one who lives everything in the first person and doesn’t wait to be told about it.

As one quote says, “There are no dreams, only realities”. As an adventurous soul, I believe that there is no force in the world that can stop my fearless spirit. There is no dream adventure that does not come true. As such, I would tend to use any excuse to go out, explore, and see with my very eyes what I have imagined.

Going on an adventure of any sort has a way of turning things around. From experience, adventures fill us up with so much life. It always has a way of making me feel happy and inspired.. From my numerous solo backpacking across the 76 (of 82) provinces in the Philippines to that ultimate months of travelling across Europe and Middle East, North Africa (MENA), life is indeed a great adventure mSo here are some of the most memorable activities I have done as an adventure junkie!
