Anthony Bourdain once said “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.” Sometimes the adventure takes you in the middle of the mountains or in the high jungle of the Amazon and other times it takes you to the heart of a busy city full of energy and unforgettable experiences. And the best thing about embarking on an adventure is knowing that no matter what you’re ready for it, which is why we gathered a few essentials that will turn any endeavor into a great adventure.
