Indoor Adventures Enclosed 😊
Hi !
Well, it's been a little while - and what a huge amount has happened in the world since then. You're probably being inundated with it, so we're not going to talk about that. What we are going to do is try to give you some light in a dark place. Here goes...
ADVENTURE BULLETIN
People are, understandably, not going off on adventures at the moment. But luckily for us, there's more ways to experience adventure. The first one is to plan future adventures for yourself. The dreaming part is often the most enjoyable stage.
