The Adventurist

The best part of the trip is usually the part that made you a little nervous.

The Adventurist would rather earn the view. You want to hike it, swim it, paddle it, zip over it. You come home with better stories than souvenirs, and a little sore, which is how you know it was good. Adventure still deserves a good bed. I plan these trips around ethical operators and trustworthy guides, with a lodge at the end of the day that knows you’ll be hungry and tired and happy.

You know you’re a Adventurist when

Best friends with nature. Peaks, jungles, rivers. If there’s no trail, it’s not on your map.
Likes the rush. Ziplines, rapids, a cliff jump. Your heart has to race a little.
Curious as well. Ancient ruins and local villages matter as much as the next thrill.
Leaves no trace. You pick operators that treat the wild, and the wildlife, with respect.

Things to consider

Pace: Active
Budget: Mid-range
Best time to go: Dry season
