What is may contain adventure all about?
Adventure, and stuff
It’s basically a travel blog, or maybe a travel guide, because the more I say blog the less convinced I am that it’s actually a word. Blog. Is it?
Think Lonely Planet, with their award winning pictures and insightful writing, except without either of those things. There’s still a lot of great info in here, it’s just buried between made up words and misplaced, commas. We take pictures too, but they’re mostly out of focus, and an unreasonable number of them are of goats.
So what’s the point you might ask? That’s always a fun thread to pull on. I guess we do it because we love to travel and enjoy writing and taking pictures so it almost seems lazy not to do something with that. And hey, maybe these blogs (blllog..nope) will inspire someone out there to have a weird little adventure of their own. Who knows, we just write them, the internet is a big place, if something in here is useful to just one person then that’s pretty awesome.

How we travel
As the drunk butterfly flies
We’re slow, like glacially slow. You won’t see an ever climbing ‘countries visited’ counter here. We plan poorly and tend to get stuck in places for a while. Timelines are really only useful if you have somewhere to be. We prefer to leave things up to the universe, maybe that’s laziness or maybe it’s adventurous-ness. Realistically, it’s probably 70/30.
Cheap and a bit bush wacky
We’re not fancy, if you take us somewhere nice, we’ll probably break something. You won’t find any 5 (or even 3) star hotel or fine dining reviews here. We consider a swim in a river to be our shower for the week, a can of fire warmed soup to be a gourmet meal and camp with a drop toilet to be the height of luxury.
Like it's the zombie apocalypse
We don’t like crowds, they’re way too crowded. We like going to places that not many tourists visit and are super happy if we’re the only ones there. It’s not that we’re anti-social, we just prefer dogs to people. This means we’ll often skip something that is a ‘must see’ in favour of a less famous or harder to access site (sorry Siam Reap, we hear you’re beautiful).

Adventures
What kind of adventure are you looking for?
Skiing | Hiking | Biking | Camping | Nature i.e. activities that will either make you sweat or get your ass bitten by mosquitos (probably both)
Scuba | Free diving | Lake and river paddling | Wild swimming | Sailing – basically anything that’ll leave you looking like a drowned rat.
Destination guides | Sightseeing | Transport guides | Markets (think street food, not stocks) | Vegan travel guides and all things ‘civilized’.
