It’s easy to think of adventure as something out of reach… too self-indulgent, too expensive, too time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This past year I’ve embraced the idea of “micro-adventures” as a way to add more excitement and inspiration to my daily life. A micro-adventure can be almost anything. As long as it’s easy, exciting (whatever that means for you), and breaks up your routine.

I’ve put together a list of my favorite FREE micro-adventures to get you started. This is a great way to live your story instead of just letting the days pass you by.
17 Free Micro-Adventures
1. Go Hiking
2. Go on a Photo Walk
3. Visit a Free Museum
4. Explore Your Hometown
5. Complete an Un-Finished Project
6. Visit the Library
7. Go Stargazing
8. Make an Adventure Generator

10. Color with Crayons
11. Join an IG Challenge (like #RandomLoveLetters)
