I really just want to experience the outdoors as much as possible. I’m a cyclist (mountain, in this context), and I used to snowboard, but as a I age these activities feel a bit riskier (meaning I may hurt myself) to me personally. What are some good ways to experienced the outdoors with relatively low risk of injury?
More words:
I don’t want to be inside anymore. I was on a river trip this weekend. At some point I was floating in the river and taking in the scenery when I realized I feel like I’m doing nothing most of the time. I work from home, but it definitely has me inside most of the time. I find myself in mood to do whatever I need to, drastic changes, buying equipment, etc, to change this.
I just can’t do it anymore. I need to outside doing something. If I need to sneak off during the workday to do so, so be it.
I’m biased but birding. Just go to a trail or anywhere with some binoculars and some apps (Merlin bird id and eBird) and that’s it. Just walk around enjoy nature pay attention to the little things. You will begin to see just how beautiful the world is
I too am biased in favor of birding. I didn’t say in my original post but this is a hobby I already have.
Thank you anyway, and may your life list grow long.
