In the modern rapid world the temptation to discover something new is not dictated by a plane ticket or a passport any more. The emerging trend of urban adventure fueled by the necessity to open up the inner potential of cities and to receive an adventure without having to travel far is popular. It attracts people interested in spontaneity, nations, and adrenaline in the rhythm of usual life in the big city. It may be the climbing of a historic tower, the paddling of an urban river or the delves into city underground art scenes but this sort of urban adventures are transforming the imagination about what our surroundings are. The importance of the idea is that it can help create the feeling of wonder around us even in places where we often live and that have a close connection to our communities. It has to do with subbing out the laissez-faire life of the urbanites with exploration and mindfulness. Sustainability of urban adventure can be met through minimization on impact to environment that can only be realized by traveling a long distance. Most importantly it will enable individuals to be tourists in their city and add spice to their life without inconveniencing to travel outside the town.
The urban adventure can also be seen as a special combination of challenge, exploration, and cultural experience. Different cities are full of stories, secluded secrets and experiences that those who pass through them, day in day out, do not care about. Even a walk in a new neighborhood can turn into the exploration of different histories and local tastes as long as the person has the right frame of mind. Rooftop gardens, impromptu music festivals carved up in the alleys, and many other surprises await those who want to explore the city. Creativity and resilience are nourished through this type of adventure because explorers learn to adapt, notice things, and be grateful of what they see around them. It is inclusive as well, being open to people across all ages and backgrounds. As they saw the city as an area to play and explore, urban adventurers establish a stronger connection to their ecosystem. Finally, urban adventure is not just a hobby but a way of thinking that turns the routine into something special.
