Why Adventure?

In response to Drew Jacob, below is my compilation of concise answers to a complex question- "Why Adventure?"



  • When you seek adventure, you can't help but to follow your heart.
  • How else will you find your passion and your purpose in life?
  • As humans, we were meant to grow, seek, discover, create and challenge ourselves- Adventure fulfills all of the above.
  • No one ever regretted adventure, not even Aron Ralston, who had to amputate his own arm in the isolated canyon in Utah.
  • Because living vicariously through another is a pathetic excuse.
  • Some of the most novel ideas and lifelong friendships have been formed as a result.
  • Physical adventure can act as the gateway to spiritual adventure and discovery.
  • Sometimes it takes blood, sweat and tears to figure out the core of who you are and what you stand for, and this doesn't happen from sitting on the couch.
  • Bubbles were meant to be popped.
  • The lessons you learn through your adventures can inspire and motivate others to also seek adventure and step outside his/her comfort zones.
  • Because this year, my grandma turned 105 years old, and if I live to be that old, I plan to be surrounded by fellow thrill-seekers and actively sharing stories about my current adventures.
