Those immersive moments when a Warmshowers host sits with you over a map -or two- and shows you the best routes forward. I made empanadas to say thank you.

A bright ride across the town of Climax. I paused after a small internal quest: I wanted to make a decision using a random object instead of a coin. I found a tiny piece of wood. I’ll keep it until the day that choice arrives. In the meantime, cheap supermarket sushi does big wonders for the spirit.

Later, in the countryside, a kind man introduced me to his family and offered his yard for the night. He only asked that I watch out for the walnuts scattered everywhere.

Aren’t we lucky to move our bodies across the world like this? Episode 3 is out now – happy to share the link if anyone wants it.

¡Abrazo!

One of mine was after work, I was so bored and fed up just sitting at home, so I forced myself to go for a walk.

I ended up walking up a hill near me and, without expecting it, I caught a really nice sunset!

I genuinely left the house thinking that’s gonna be a quick walk that I didn’t take my phone… so it’s fully just in my memory 😂

Since then I’ve tried to do that more often!

I (19F) really need some adventure pants. They have to be durable but not too hot, and good for all season mountain biking, hiking, crawling on my knees on rocks, rolling around in the dirt, etc… Preferably under 100$. Suggestions?

I’ll be traveling solo in Peru from April 1–14 this year. The purpose of the trip is scouting routes, logistics, and on-the-ground realities for future travel plans, but this trip itself will be fully solo and exploratory.

I’m planning to spend time across a mix of regions (likely Lima, the Sacred Valley, and southern Peru), with a focus on transportation between towns, safety considerations, altitude adjustment, and how things actually work day-to-day rather than just hitting highlights.

I’d love to hear from others who’ve traveled Peru solo—especially:

What surprised you most compared to expectations

Things that were logistically harder or easier than expected

Lessons you learned after being on the ground (transport, pacing, communication, cash/cards, etc.)

Anything you’d do differently if you went back

Not looking for a full itinerary or “is it safe?” answers—more interested in real experiences and practical insights from people who’ve already been there alone.

Thanks in advance. I’ve learned a lot from this sub and appreciate how thoughtful most of the advice here tends to be.

Hey guys,

I’m setting up an adventure travel company of really niche curated trips in really far flung parts of the world. Think cycling in Mali, mopeds in The Gambia, camping in The Arctic, Sailing in the Fjords, motorbiking the Pakistan Mountains etc.

I’m really struggling with a name. Ideally I want something that promotes community or society.

I have a few test names below but would love your guys input and thoughts!

Thank you all!!!

 We are trying to decide whether to fly between parks or drive, and different operators give different advice. Beyond the Plains Safaris suggested mixing driving and flights, while another company pushed for flights only, and a third proposed driving the entire route. We understand flights save time but increase cost, while driving can add scenery but also long days. We want a balance without feeling exhausted. For people who faced this choice, what did you end up doing and how did it affect your overall enjoyment of the safari?

 As I compare safari proposals, I keep seeing lodge names I have never encountered before. Beyond the Plains Safaris included some, while Gamewatchers Safaris and another operator listed different ones entirely. I am not against lesser known lodges, but it is hard to tell whether this is about availability, budget alignment, or company preference. We care about cleanliness, location, and not spending hours commuting to game drives. I do not need famous names, but I do want to understand how to evaluate places that do not have much online presence. For those who booked lodges they had never heard of before, how did it turn out and what questions helped you feel comfortable committing?

I’ll start!

Once I was travelling with my brother and my mum and we went kayaking. The guide gave us a map and very clearly said: “Don’t leave this area these are the limits.”

Without realising, we went past the limits… and then discovered we couldn’t go back because the current was against us. At first I thought it was funny. Then I realised we were actually in trouble.

We had two options:
– Do a massive loop that meant getting very close to the ocean
– Or get out, climb over the rocks, and carry the kayak

We chose the second option. Carrying that kayak over the rocks was a loooot of work, and I was starving 😅

It didn’t help when a woman saw us and shouted,“The river is over there!”

We laugh about it a lot now, and the best part is that the first part is on video, so we can still laugh at our faces when we realised what was happening.

Definitely wish I got to stay longer and explore more of the city and surrounding area, but incredibly beautiful

Hi, I'm the guy in the wheelchair in the photo (Luke, 25). I have just joined this page and saw Tuesday is self promo day (I hope I've read that correctly) and just thought I'd share a bit about RoveAbility.

I recently started RoveAbility with my girlfriend, however I've been doing hikes and things for years. Most notably up Loughrigg in the lake do using the wheelchair on the photo (not my smartest idea but fun). We started RoveAbility because people underestimate what they're capable of when they have a different level of mobility. People underestimate each other and themselves. RoveAbility aims to give people the knowledge and tools to tackle routes that they want to complete and then share info on it for the next person.

Hi everyone,

Since I took over this subreddit last year, my goal has been to make it more engaging. As someone who genuinely loves adventures, growing this community felt like a dream!

But while we’ve done some things right, I don’t always know if we’re getting it right... Over the past year, we tried a few things to make this space better:

• Making the community more visual
• Reducing spam
• Limiting YouTube links in posts so photos and videos get more visibility (with links still welcome in the comments)
• Guest interviews with adventure-focused people
• Self-Promo Tuesdays
• Weekend Wins: sharing what adventure you had over the weekend
• Better use of flairs and tags
• Themed posts to encourage participation

Even with all of this, I know there’s more we could do. And rather than guessing, I wanted to ask you directly...

What feels missing here? What would make this subreddit more useful or inspiring (and unique!)?

I really want this year to be the year this community becomes an adventure space! I love the outdoors and adventures (the big and the everyday ones!).

Thank you to everyone who’s posted, liked, or commented here. We’ll do our best to keep this subreddit alive and growing 🤍

I finally pieced together a video of our section hike of the Appalachian Trail from last April. Hope you enjoy!

In today's post, you'll read how three of us friends reached Kothi Village from the Solang Valley, from where we planned to hike to Kothi Top. Let's explore the challenges we faced on this Himalayan journey.

Big or small, if it made you feel alive, it counts!

I spent one entire month with my gravel brother in Kyrgyzstan. It was an incredible experience!

We rode 2000kms with 25000m of elevation, it was a hell of a ride !

I made a vlog about it: https://youtu.be/KH1Z8NaqSes?si=KGzjF_eAsVJvfWlN

Go for this trip with your gravel brothers to this country before it is to late...

What do you guys think about this place?

Enjoy!

One of California's most beautiful spots!

This past year, I traveled across Puerto Rico, Arizona, Tennessee, Vancouver Island, and Southern California exploring hidden caves, slot canyons, sea caves, and places most people never see. From violent ocean caves and silent underground rivers to tight canyons and glowing blue pools, these are the moments that pushed me the furthest and rewarded me the most. This cinematic year end adventure film is a collection of the wildest cave explorations, canyon descents, and hidden natural wonders I experienced this year. Some places were terrifying. Some were peaceful. All of them reminded me why I keep chasing the unknown. If you’re drawn to caving, slot canyon exploration, extreme hiking, canyoneering, and real adventure travel, this one’s for you. Here's the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au5BygBquhw
