That’s just so not true.

Few people are capable of *real* exploring anyway. Going where no human has been before. Shackleton, Amundsen, Mallory, Harrer, Bonatti, to name a few Euro-centric ones, did so. To do what they did at that time was extraordinary and way beyond any if our capabilities.

And what Insta calls an “Adventure” is merely a tightly controlled and carefully crafted theme park visit. It’s a joke.

That said, any place is there for you to discover. Nobody fucking cares if you visited the Grand Canyon or some fiery hole in Iceland. And even less so if it has been trodden on by humans yet.

All that matters is having a jolly time in an alien place, detached from anybody’s expectations. Don’t chase the next Insta spot.

Go early in the morning. Go in bad weather. Go off-season. Take your time and the rest will reveal itself.

It’s not that hard.
