30 Adventurers Questions and Answers:

1 :: What is an adventurer?

A person willing to take risks or use dishonest methods for personal gain is called an adventurer.
An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience. It may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome. Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, river rafting or participating in extreme sports. The term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical, financial or psychological risk, such as a business venture, or other major life undertakings.

2 :: What are the outliers when considering trying to make a career out of travel?

When considering trying to make a career out of travel and adventure, do not make the mistake of imagining your career path to emulate those of the outliers in the field. By definition you are unlikely to achieve as much as them:
☛ You are unlikely to be as great a climber.
☛ You are unlikely to sell as many books.
☛ You are unlikely to take photos.
☛ You are unlikely to make films as successful.
☛ You are unlikely to be on telly.
☛ You are unlikely to be as rich.
☛ You are unlikely to have the biggest stroke of luck that makes great things happen.
☛ You are unlikely to have the best address book full of useful contacts who can make great things happen for you.

3 :: How much little money can you exist on?

A few adventurers are rich, but remember the outliers. Most adventurers are not rich. Consider also the fairly reliable correlation that richer adventurers live less adventurously than the poorer dirt bags living out of vans but climbing 300 days every year. Think about what you want. If you want to earn well, you would be wise to get a different job and just spend some of your earnings on adventures. I know plenty of less intelligent, less driven people who earn many times what I do. And besides, wanting to live adventurously is almost the antithesis of wanting to be rich.

4 :: How to become an adventurer?

Here are three ways you should follow to become an adventurer:
☛ Finding your adventure
☛ Getting experience
☛ Making adventure your career

5 :: List a few ways to find your adventure?

Here are a few ways to find your adventure:
☛ Define adventure for yourself
☛ Consider the outdoors
☛ Count up your scars
☛ Consider cultural exploration
☛ Think about helping people
☛ Dig out your bug collection

6 :: Why would you define adventure for yourself?

An adventurer is typically someone who seeks out unusual and uncommon situations. If you want to make a career out of adventuring, how you choose to define "adventure" will shape the plans, methods, destinations, meanings and purpose of your career.
☛ Wanting to be an adventurer does not necessarily mean you have to embrace rock climbing if you are interested in the toads of the Amazon. Channel your interests into an adventurous career and choose something personally fulfilling and meaningful.

7 :: What are the things which separate those who make long careers from adventure?

Two things separate those who make long careers from adventure from those who fall by the wayside:
☛ Money
☛ Patience

8 :: Why should you consider the outdoors?

If the idea of hiking in the mountains among clear streams fills you with tranquility and not a panicky desire for antihistamine, adventure for you might consist of wildlife conservation, eco-tourism, or scenic recreation.

9 :: Tell me about patience in the career of adventurers?

You need to be in this for the long run. It will probably take years before you write a good book, get involved with exciting projects, or earn much money. You need to enjoy the process and the journey. You will need to work many hours. You will need self discipline and to learn to manage your time, just like anyone running their own small business.

10 :: Why should you count up your scars?

Always on the move, maybe you feel cooped up while sitting in class. Maybe the idea of working at a computer in a drab office fills you with nameless dread. Maybe you have no fear of riding your bicycle fast in heavy traffic and think scuba diving sounds like a relaxing weekend activity. White water? Bring it on.
For you, adventure might consist of extreme sports, outdoor endurance activities, or exploration.
