“Why, I’d like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.”
The quote is from a play called The Frogs, by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It’s also a bit tongue-in-cheek as the character who says it is not really all about the adventure.
In search of Some Bold Adventure
My name is Donna and I love bold adventures, hiking, travel, and any combination of those things. I am chronically lost, but never afraid to head out in any direction.
Whether it’s motorcycle riding, solo travel, hiking and backpacking, or trying other new activities, it’s time to step outside your comfort zone and pursue bold adventures, too. This website is where I share my adventures, from hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland to learning to ride a motorcycle and seeing where it takes me. I’m trying to lead a more adventurous life and I hope you’ll join me.
Adventure at any age
I’ve always had an adventurous spirit and love for travel, but I got more serious about adventures as I got older. I took up hiking and learned to backpack in my 40s and I’ve had some great adventures. You can read about a two-week solo hike on Isle Royale National Park, trekking Scotland’s West Highland Way. Check out my YouTube channel for a look at three-week jungle trek in Papua New Guinea.
Now I’m a woman over 50 who’s only just getting started – I learned to ride a motorcycle at the age of 54.
My YouTube channel has videos of many of my bold adventures. Instagram is where you’ll see the photos of travel and other adventures.
Find your own adventure
For me, it’s about exploring the world, trying new things, and proving that bold adventures aren’t just for the young—or the ultra-experienced. I’m here to share what I’ve learned along the way so you can get out there and find your own adventures.
Go out to find your bold adventure, and make it worthy of your trip!
