Global Warming, it’s here too

Global WarmingSlowly, the world is changing due to many factors, humans being a large one. Today in the Korea Times The Korea Meteorological Society said that this summer was the fifth hottest and most humid since 1912…which is similar to what I remember hearing back in Florida. In American the seasons and natural disasters are becoming more extreme and frequent. In Korea I guess it is becoming the same, which is not completely a surprise since I remember Adam telling me about an ice cap from somewhere near the Antarctic which has floated up near Southern Australia.

You can find all of the statistics in the article including animal extinction predictions, loss of homes and the change in rainfall and temperature. It is a shame that so much of it has to do with human waste and the effects of our doing. I wonder if there is anywhere in the world that is untouched by the effects of global warming.

How do you build a life around adventure and travel?

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.

What does an adventurous family lifestyle actually look like?

Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.

How do you balance adventure with stability for kids?

By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.

What has travel taught your family?

That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.

How do you handle the pressure to live conventionally when you have chosen differently?

By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.
