Recently I've had the yearning for adventure. I wake up from dreams where I am on some form of quest or adventure; I sometimes relive past adventures in my mind; I read books and watch movies that take place in other lands; even as I research, I often catch myself daydreaming about living in that time period and what it must have been like to not know the rest of the world. In our current day and age, the world is accessible to us through our fingertips. The frontier has been discovered and humans, in many areas, have destroyed the natural wonders that would have been an adventurer's playground. It has often been said that humans are "natural explorers"; the adventuring spirit seems connected to our curiosity and the desire to learn. Whether we all feel the call, in the same way, seems possible, but, for me, it feels stronger than many of my contemporaries. Maybe for many, their sense of adventure is quelled by living vicariously through fictional characters in movies...
