How to Add Soft Adventure to Your European Itinerary

And you talk about soft adventure.

So what exactly is, if somebody hasn't heard about soft adventure, what does that include? What does it not include? What does it include? What is it?

So I like to classify soft adventure as, I guess some synonyms would be adventure light or gentle adventure.

So, you know, I always say like, if I say the word adventure, usually you think about like somebody like, you know, kayaking or whitewater rafting or hanging off a cliff or, you know, scaling a big peak or, you know, careening down a path on a mountain bike all in the, you know, in the kit and the helmet and everything.

Yeah.

And that's not, that's not what soft adventure is.

Soft adventure is you may be taking a nice little gentle walk through, you know, a local park, you know, a forest or getting on a bicycle and just kind of taking an easy cycle, like along the Loire river, you know, and then stopping at a, stopping at a Chateau or a winery or one of the towns.

So it's, it's a way that it's it doesn't require like somebody to be like some uber physically fit person, not a lot of skill.

So, you know, the entry level is low.

I mean, most everybody can go out and maybe have a walk and it makes it more accessible and makes nature more accessible.

And I think that for me, you know, I lived in Colorado for 15 years.

And so I loved being in the outdoors there.

And I think that, Europe gets, you know, the cities get all the billing, top billing, you know, and even maybe some of the, you know, the bigger sites or whatever.

Some of the sites are within cities, sometimes they're not.

But getting into nature and even like the little villages, because sometimes you can walk.

I mean, as you know, you can walk village to village in some places.

I mean, England is perfect for that, right? You know, there's public footpaths everywhere in England.

It's like, oh, there's a public footpath.

Where does it go? And, you know, and that's the great thing about it.

That soft adventure is like you can just go and you can take a walk.

You don't have to be out for long.

You can go out for 30 minutes if you want.

You can go walk 20 minutes out and turn around and come 20 minutes back, you know, from a town.

Maybe you're staying in a town and you see a path.

You can follow that.
