A Video A Day... Turn Your 9-5 into a 5-9

5 to 9 Microadventure from Alastair Humphreys on Vimeo.

 Last week, I posted a video by Simon Edwards about his micro adventure in Sussex.  Here is the video that started it all.  Introducing:  THE MICRO ADVENTURE!  The 5-9 is an unused time that requires some much needed TLC.  In the midst of our busy lives, sometimes it seems that we don't take care of ourselves.  And sometimes it's as simple as setting outside your front door.  For three British office workers, they're about to set out on their first micro adventure.  In the words of Alastair Humphreys, "You don't need to fly to the other side of the planet to find wilderness and beauty."  It's about trying something new, getting outside your comfort zone, and experiencing the world more intimately.  "Adventure is about enthusiasm, ambition, open-mindedness, and curiosity," meaning that you don't have to take on some huge endeavor.  Camp in your backyard, bike to a city park.  Don't waste the moments dreaming about something big.  If you're doing something new, its an adventure.  Always remember, "Adventure is a state of mind."  So what's the plan?
