I worked for a busy Fortune 500 corporation from the age of 24 to 40something. I rarely looked up from my desk from 7AM-10PM that the job and promotions demanded. But on the weekends I turned into the outdoor adventuressI wanted to be in high school. Why did I not pursue this path full time? 'Cause of the money honey. There was NO money in adventuring in those days. You took a vow of poverty and that was that.
Well I like to inhabit nice, clean places and wanted to own a home of my own. So off to work I went on Monday mornings, tired, exhausted from the all-night driving when coming back from a high energy weekend in some distant California outpost. I kayaked, skied, climbed, backpacked every weekend and had a blast.
During the week, I ate lunch at my desk and plotted with my travel agent adventure buddy where to go next. I wished I had had the internet then to keep me company. I could have viewed all manner of places with out leaving my desk and reduce my stress. Check this link out and you'll know what I mean.
