Our Deep Rooted Need for Adventure

It’s easy to fall into routine. We are, after all, creatures of comfort. Wake up, get ready for work, got to work, come home from work, relax on the couch with Netflix, lather, rinse, repeat. Perhaps there’s the occasional trip to the gym our outing with friends, maybe even a vacation thrown in every once in a while for good measure.

Somewhere along the way, however, we lost something. Somewhere along the way we dropped the sense of wonder that came from childhood dreams of grand adventures, adventures where we’re heroes on a quest, out to explore or out to save the day. These days we content ourselves to live vicariously through our social media feeds and travel blogs, rather than go out and have experiences of our own.

We’ve become a generation of consumers. Not consumers in the material sense that our parents were, as more and more of us are adopting minimalist lifestyles, but consumers of content. On-demand streaming services give us our fix whenever we want it, and ebooks have made the written word more accessible than ever. This is not a bad thing, but it’s time to do something better with it.

Rather than consume our content and let it haunt our dreams with adventures we can never hope to live through, it’s time to let that content inspire us! It’s time to make ourselves the heroes we watch, read about, and indeed dream about. It’s time to satisfy our deep rooted need for adventure. Let’s go out and make it happen!

The Best Action-Packed Disney Rides

In celebration of Walt Disney Day, we wanted to share our favorite action-packed rides. Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth, and its rides are just as fun. Whether you love rides or not, these action-packed rides are worth a try.

Space Mountain – Zoom into space with the renowned Space Mountain ride. You’ll see all areas of space, get shaken about in all directions and ride several loops. It’s an action-packed, out-of-this-world ride, every thrill-seeker needs to try. Fast, fun and all things sci-fi.

Thunder Mountain – Although not the scariest ride in the parks, it’s action-packed in so many different ways. It’s a ride that can be experienced by the whole family in the wilderness area of the park. If you’d like to make it more daredevil though, queue up in the evening before the parks shut.

Splash Mountain – Another mountain ride with a wet twist, Splash Mountain is a must. It’s one of the only water rides with a massive drop that gets you completely soaked. It may be scary but it’s a family must-have!

Expedition Everest – An all-rounder thrilling ride, Expedition Everest is well-themed and well-designed for maximum action. The ride travels backwards, has a massive drop, and is perfect for all those Disney thrill-seekers.

Tower of Terror – You can’t visit Disney without going on the most thrilling ride there is, Tower of Terror. The ride has every single detail for the most thrilling experience ever. You’ll be both shocked and surprised as the ride goes up and down – and if you ride it twice, no ride is ever the same.
