See, I’m no liar! A post!
Here is a great resource for those of you who are into doing some broadly defined “adventure.” Outside Magazine’s Adventure Finder.
It is a step-by-step process that asks you various questions about what generally want to do and where you generally want to go and then it searches and generates results for various packaged adventures taylored to your answers.
For example, let’s see how is works for me:
Step 1: Who’s Going? Me: “Singles”
Step 2: What do you want to do–activity type? Me: “Hiking/Walk/Climb” –> then “Hiking/Trekking”
Step 3: Where do you want to go? Me: “Asia” –> then “All Asia”
