I realized something looking back at my recent photos:
I’ve actually been doing quite a bit of traveling this summer.
I just haven’t been going very far. 😂
There have been hikes and museums, days on the water, neighborhood discoveries, old-school arcade games, go-karting, good food and quite a few things I didn’t know I was going to find until I got there.
I’ve started thinking of these little adventures as my Local Pursuits.
I love a passport stamp as much as ever. But I also love getting in the car, heading somewhere interesting and seeing what the day turns into.
Sometimes that means exploring a town I haven’t spent much time in. Sometimes it’s trying something new. Sometimes it’s finding something interesting practically in my own backyard.
Turns out, curiosity travels pretty well without a passport. 😉
And yes, I’m already thinking about the next Local Pursuit.
Who wants to come?
