Adventure #1 – Beginning the Adventure
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so it only seems fitting that my year of adventures should begin with a single, simple adventure. So here it is, my first adventure is joining this budding community and making this post declaring my commitment to a year of adventures. Some will be completely new while others will be things I’ve done before and decided that I need to do again. I have a partial list of adventures I want to have this year, but as for the rest…well I’m fairly certain that life will provide me with plenty of opportunities to find more adventures.
So in no particular order (other than that which I thought of these), here is my list so far…
2. Take a cooking class
3. Go to a wine tasting
4. Go skydiving5. Motorcycle road trip (minimum 2-3 days and 2-3 states)
6. Take a wine tasting class
7. Wander an art museum
8. Take a trip to NYC
9. Trip to the Boston Harbor Islands
10. Go on a 1st date
11. Try a new food that I normally wouldn’t even think about trying
12 – 16. Try various projects from Absinthe and Flamethrowers
17. Talk someone into joining me on one or more of my adventures
18. take the advanced motorcycle rider course
19. go to an amusement park
20. spend a day playing “where does this road go?”, get a room where ever I end up, don’t worry about finding my way home until the next day
21. actually obey all traffic laws, including speed limits, for an entire day
22. go for a walk in the woods
23. check out a live band I have not seen before
24. Find roses. Sit down and smell them
25. Try a new wine every week
26. go on a picnic
27. take dancing lessons
28. help someone else with one of their adventures
29. Go to a play
Happy adventuring everyone, and thanks for letting me join in!

Hey there, and welcome! Those are some really great adventure ideas, and I’m looking forward to hearing about how they play out (especially the motorcycle road trip).

Thank you, and thank you! Adventures that involve my bike are the ones I’m looking forward to the most as well, and will likely end up being paired with other adventures (road trip to check out an art museum perhaps?). I’m having a great time reading about the adventures others have been posting, and look forward to seeing what everyone does this year.

28 – I have done it a couple times and it is fantastic helping others adventure – a couple lead to an adventure of my own – see poetry reading. I love all those ones that involve your motorcycle – as someone with a motorcycle license with no bike I will settle feeling the wind through my hair through reading about your adventures.
