If you've been an adventure enthusiast for the last 30 years, you're likely familiar with the successes, failures, and lessons learned over the years. From exploring unknown lands, to pushing our physical and mental limits, to fostering new relationships, the world has changed drastically in the past three decades. So, what have we learned? What can be done differently? And what should we expect from the next 30 years of adventure?
The Last 30 Years of Adventure
The last 30 years of adventure have seen a lot of progress. We've seen the development of new technologies that make it easier to explore new places. We've seen an increase in global tourism, allowing us to experience different cultures and environments. We've seen the rise of extreme sports, pushing us to our physical and mental limits. And of course, we've seen an increase in social media, making it easier to connect with like-minded people who share our passion.
Despite all of these advances, there have been some setbacks. Climate change has put a strain on many of the places we love to explore. We've seen an increase in environmental pollution, making it harder to enjoy the outdoors. The cost of travel and equipment has become prohibitive for many people. And of course, the global pandemic has put a major damper on adventure for the last few years.
