    I’m 42 and I can tell you from experience that unless someone offered to pay your rent while you were gone, calls to adventure ain’t all they’re cracked up to be…

      But the true adventure begins when you get back, rich with cultural experience and travel! Because that’s when you realise you don’t have any money left, you got evicted from your flat, you have 1000s of dollars in unpaid bills and you’ve got nowhere to go.

      What a time to be alive!

        The trick is to take out a ton of loans and buy a bunch of adventure stuff on credit cards before you leave then just never come back

      I called someone to adventure once and offered to pay his rent for the month we would be gone, sounds like a good deal, right? Well he flaked out on me.

          What? I had to drive across the country twice for a business trip and I didn’t want to go alone and I wanted him to come with me. He decided he didn’t want to go apparently.

        Was that before or after you paid his rent

          we never left the planning stages of our adventure. nothing ever happened.

      The harsh reality is that I (and I’m CERTAIN the collective “we”) have received dozens of calls to adventure, and we’ve just rejected them for the relative comforts of the rat race.

        If you don’t follow stray cats into alleys, are you really trying to adventure?

      Honestly, a call to adventure sounds like a lot of work and I haven’t caught up on some of my shows yet…
