For many of us, we think of “adventure” as trekking to the four corners of the globe, either lulling in the white sand beaches of Boracay, safari hunting in Africa, enjoying a cruise in the Alaskan wilderness, or better searching for that Shangrila in the Himalayas. But adventure starts with your state of mind. Even the simplest drive to and from work, or chatting with a stranger in the elevator, or exploring a new path in your daily drive - can bring a sense of richness to life.

But no matter, it's the waking up to spontaniety of the present that makes us embrace the spirit of our everyday adventure - it's that adventurous bunch in us, exploring the realms of the unknown, and only in our state ofmind.
