Adventure Travel
WHAT IS ADVENTURE TRAVEL?
Traditionally, adventure travel dealt with a lot of physical exertion and a considerable amount of risk. Gone are the days that adventure was only for those who had strong arms and muscular abs.
Today, whatever that instantly comes to your mind when you hear “adventure” is adventure travel. It could be hopping on a wildlife safari in Kenya for one person, joining a trek up a grand mountain for another, or simply trying an extra-spicy Asian dish for another. Grasping the concept of adventure travel with Stenner Travel Agency is as simple as that. Your perception of adventure might change from that of an amateur traveller and a traveller who has years of experience flying to different destinations.

GUIDE TO FINDING ADVENTURE
The idea of adventure travel is very subjective. Consulting an excellent travel agency like Stenner Travel can get you ready for whatever you have in mind. A travel agency with such practice can turn any experience into an adventure; therefore, there is only a little left that you have to do before starting the journey.
- Understanding real adventure – Adventure does not necessarily have to be something that gets you in trouble, gives you a taste of danger or gives you a severe adrenaline rush. Just remember that you need not to jump off a cliff with a parachute on your back to be an adventure traveller.
- Know your niche –Before booking an expensive skydiving session, ask yourself whether it is really what you want to do. Understanding your preferences can help the travel agent to choose the best options available.
- Ask your travel agent for pointers – First off, you must know what you are up against! You cannot fight live through an entire day of hitchhiking with a single bottle of water. This is why it is important always to be aware of what you will be doing, what you need to be wearing, and how you should pack.
- It is okay to forget your gold – Taking valuables on adventure travel expeditions can be a huge risk because you will always have to keep an eye on them. Leave your jewellery home and pack up your essentials to enhance the adventure.
- Dress accordingly – Depending on the adventurous experience you wish to have, the clothes you need to wear would differ. Whatever you bring, make sure they are comfortable, lightweight and familiar. For instance, the wrong pair of shoes on a single day of trekking will ruin the entire trip for you.
- Consider and reconsider – If you are not much of a hiker, do not get yourself signed up for a difficult expedition up the Everest! Just because every other person is doing it does not mean you have to, too. Consider your preferences and options first. It is not a competition, so relax!
