WHAT IS AN ADVENTURE?
We become aware at New Seeker that the individual sitting next to us may have quite different ideas of an adventure than we have.
While eating unusual street cuisines like fried insects and animal intestines may seem daring to us, for the typical locals, eating those things is just a normal part of life. We realised that it is a part of the beauty of adventure, it's the fact that every person defines adventure differently.

Whatever path you pick, adventure is about stepping outside of your comfort zone to expose yourself to the experiences and beauties that life has to offer. It also involves tackling every event head-on, whether or not you know how it will turn out. Even if you've seen the world a million times before, it's about seeing it from a new angle.
It is deciding to see the beauty in the mundane and figuring out new ways to approach things.
Adventure can also mean doing something that would ordinarily put you outside of your comfort zone. from mustering the confidence to make friends with a stranger to assist a complete stranger. Finding your passion and going after it with vigour is key.

Why shouldn't you consider it an adventure if that is what you want out of life, whether you are creating a business or making a name for yourself in your company? Some people work really hard in a career where they are continuously attempting to improve their skills.
Developing your career could be an adventure as long as you are aware of the wider picture and are striving for a specific outcome.
Adventure can be as easy as occasionally trying a new look or as complex as changing up your everyday routine by trying a new dish or socialising with new people. You may be adventurous in any circumstance by trying something different and intriguing.
It's part of the adventure to try new things, whether you like them or not.
Finding enthusiasm in both the new and the old is more important than simply leaving for some far-off destination.
It involves looking around and deciding to view things differently. It's about taking a road trip because the ride there sounds amazing rather than because you want to get somewhere in particular. Our daily lives can be full of adventure, it's in the details if you simply decide to see it.
