A World-Famous Explorer On How To Make Every Day An Adventure

By this logic, in order to promote a healthier relationship to ourselves, our communities, and our world, we must first carve out time for outdoor exploration. And that doesn't have to mean hopping aboard a ship made of plastic waste or booking a one-way ticket to Antartica.

"You start exploring the moment you start feeling a little uncomfortable," says Rothschild, adding that adventure is always out there for the taking. "You can be an explorer by taking a different route home, taking a bus ride you've never taken, walking through a part of the city you've never been."

One quick way to encourage this sense of everyday exploration is to pretend that you're on a vacation in your own neighborhood. Make that extra effort to test out new restaurants, talk to new people, and map out time to wander into little nooks and crannies and see what you can find. Being a tourist in your own space can remind you of the grandeur that lies all around you. Pull this reverence for the world inward, and you have something healing on your hands.

"We talk about nature being out there, but nature is really inside us. That's the fundamental shift we need to make right now."
