Feeling like travel has been taken away during this time of self-isolating? A good friend of the Christian Travelers Network, Peter Grier, shared in a recent episode, some ways that we can be MicroAdventuring during Covid-19. He introduced the concept of micro-adventures and explains how he has seen this in action in Ireland! We encourage you to check out Peter's 30 Microadventures For April, along with some of our additional ideas.
Alastair Humphreys defines Micro-Adventures as: an adventure that is short, simple, local, cheap – yet still fun, exciting, challenging, refreshing and rewarding.
1. Treasure hunt for plants & animals in your local area
2. Camp out in your yard
3. Photograph changes in your yard
4. Learn how to tie different types of knots
5. Visit a place in your local area you've never been
6. Train to hike to longest trail in your area
7. Go fishing
8. Go on a picnic
9. Stargaze
10. Toss a coin (heads left & tails right) where do you end up?
11. Plan a challenging route & train to bike it
