What adventure are you craving (or planning for)?

Daily | August 29th, 2008 by Danielle LaPorte

Whether it’s your inner world, a foreign frontier or the thrill of something new, we all have an uncharted realm to explore and be enlivened by.

Carrie says: I am actually craving for serenity, a quiet adventure. Autumn days by the sea, wrapped in a cozy knit sweater, reading by the fire, cuddling with my hubby. Time to rest and refill.

Danielle says: I’m game for some true tantra. And a trip to Morocco. Or better yet…tantra in Morocco.

I'm crazy about the idea of going to Japan, hopping into a kimono and standing under an oiled paper umbrella in a Hanamachi district. Just thinking about it puts me on Cloud Nine.

The Chicago Olympics in 2016 (if they get it)! It'll practically be in my backyard and it'll probably be the only opportunity I'll ever get to go to the Olympics.

I Dream Of Africa! I've never been there, but it's the trip I crave. I've passed on the desire to my 5yo daughter, so I'm going to take her with me (she wants to visit our sponsor child in Senegal).

Exploring more of the world. I'm embarrassed to say how poorly traveled I am, considering I've lived in Europe for so long. I crave the vibe of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai; a service trip to Mozambique or Botswana; the spirit of Buenos Aires and Rio; the serenity of a retreat in India or Tibet. We're so lucky to live in a time when travel is not limited to the elite.

In October I will be cycling 4300 km across Eastern Canada and the US to raise money for cancer research. The trip involves a diverse group of people from across Canada working together as a team. We had a training camp to meet some of our team mates this past weekend and it is certainly going to be challenging. Not only are people of varying abilities.....(some just got their bikes, and some are accomplished triathletes and adventure racers), and it's quite apparent that some are better at team work than others. On Sunday's training ride we had a dentist who was all about teamwork, a school pricipal and nurse that was not ...(hmmmm)....there are disciplined varsity athletes and wild and crazy young entrpreneurs....And then there is the weather and the terrain.... yes this will be an adventure for sure! Now if only I could get the fundraising happening in a big way. If anyone here is interested in supporting the cause here's my link: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrati...

Just booked a week in London England for me and my husband - he has never been there, and I have only been there one day as part of a business trip - just facing the British Pound sterling from this side of the Atlantic is an adventure! We are going to see the opera AIDA at the London Colliseum and hope to poke around the galleries and museums - shopping and eating will also be a new adventure for both!

I hope to take a trip to one of the Singita Lodges in Africa for my 50th Birthday. Beautiful, luxurious and peaceful. I have had their website in my "favorites" for years.

More travel, I find that I am more peaceful, inspired and spiritual while on different soil. My next big adventure is planned for Apil 2009 to South America (Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil!)

I would like to live in my own place. I have lived with other people all of my life, parents, siblings, ex-husband, present husband, children and grandchildren.

I can picture how beautiful my place would be - filled with plants, books, flowers. Music playing from my little stereo system. Birds singing outside of my windows, not just the Mourning Doves those early risers but all kinds of song birds throughout the day. The fragrance of Sweet Autumn Clematis wafting in my bedroom window in the middle of the night, its sweet scent intoxicating as summer begins to wane.

Hey - wait a minute - except for not living on my own I already have all of those things! Hmmmm.

I crave one of the small-group adventures with Overseas Adventure Travel (route of the Maya or something fiber-related). And through African Ancestry, it was determined that my ancestry is from the Mende people of Sierra Leone. I'd like to plant my feet on the soil of Africa and be energized with the connection and all that it means.

I'm craving an adventure with my girlfriends Jessi and Jass. They are two of the wildest, creative, laughing spirits in my world and we always have an adventure together, even if it is just walking down the street. Jessi is moving back East from Victoria so I can't wait for a hook-up!

I'm building new neurons by taking Spanish and then planning a trip to Spain.

¿Cómo salgo yo el pie de mi boca?

Translation: Needs help with Spanish. LOL.

By November I'll be deep into a new apartment in a new city, 2 new writing ventures, and a freelance editing gig. It's been a big week!

I agree with Carrie!! Usually I think of adventure as running off to the next exciting locale with good friends or family... and I've been doing a lot of that lately. I'm actually writing from 3000 miles away from home. But fall and winter are going to be times when I recharge and rediscover a quieter more introspective side of life.

I am planning a 2 month trip to Africa next year. I want to explore South Afica, Kenya & the Ivory Coast. But most importantly, I want to hike into the jungles & hang out with the Lowland Gorillas for a day or two. And my dream come true would be to have one of them reach out & touch me!

I'm ready for that too! I yearn and crave for adventures. I've lived in Kiev, London, Australia, Vancouver, taught in China, worked in Sri Lanka, traveled to Dubai, Costa Rica, Thailand, New Zealand and Europe. I'm ready now though for my heart to go on a bit of an adventure too.
