Your next adventure might be right outside your door

This newspaper article explores the idea that wonder is everywhere, even in your backyard. Trying to reframe the familiar as an adventure can take some time. For most of us, it's easy to think of our hometowns as ordinary, even dull, especially if our hometown is in a small country town. It's hard not to think, "Haven't I done everything here?" But even the most well-known settings hold surprises. It just takes some imagination (and maybe a bit of research). Even the newbies to the area can join in the adventure.

Abstract

This newspaper article explores the idea that wonder is everywhere, even in your backyard. Trying to reframe the familiar as an adventure can take some time. For most of us, it's easy to think of our hometowns as ordinary, even dull, especially if our hometown is in a small country town. It's hard not to think, "Haven't I done everything here?" But even the most well-known settings hold surprises. It just takes some imagination (and maybe a bit of research). Even the newbies to the area can join in the adventure.
