They're your friends, sure, but if you don't share the same hobbies, you might grow tired of spending time with them – or worse, start resenting them for your frustrations. Remember these 7 steps to change your life and get started ASAP.
It's important to understand that not everyone enjoys the same things – not everyone is sporty or shares your thirst for adventure, adrenaline and fun. So don't expect anything from others. If they join your plans, brilliant! If not, never stop doing what you love just because nobody wants to join you.
What should you do then?
Since staying home isn't an option, the best thing is to choose an adventure sport or activity you'd love to try, then get started on becoming a happier, more fulfilled version of yourself.
But which adventure sports are best for meeting people?
Honestly? All of them – though some make it easier than others. For instance, a one-day light aircraft flight (where you're the pilot) is very different from a guided hiking trip with a fixed group. Here are some examples, but there are plenty more options.
Surf Camps
If you think camps are just for kids or teens, think again. Surf camps are perfect for adults, with countless surf schools along our coasts offering these programmes. Many are even based inland, organising beach trips specifically for surfing. Learn more about surfcamps here.
This might be the most fun and original option – and one where you'll meet people to share more than just a hobby with. You'll learn an addictive sport while making unforgettable memories.
Trekking Routes
Many companies offer guided hikes led by professional mountain guides, with routes tailored to the group's ability level in terms of duration and difficulty.
More and more people are choosing this activity to breathe fresh air in nature while being surrounded by others who share their passion for the mountains. Groups typically have about 10 people, so no worries if you're going solo.
White Water Rafting
With spring arriving, don't miss the chance to raft down a river. It's the perfect adrenaline activity even for complete beginners.
Each raft holds up to 7 people plus the instructor, who'll encourage banter between groups and active participation throughout – and laughter is absolutely guaranteed.
These are just a few examples of how to meet people outside your usual circle. You'll have a blast together and feel like you've known them forever – because ultimately, adrenaline isn't just addictive and endorphin-releasing... it brings people together.
