Alan and I have always lived very purposefully.\u00a0 We have been married a long time and wanted to put a little fun back in our routines.\u00a0 We decided to call these our ABC Adventures.\u00a0 Over the years they have grown and now we travel and play by turning to the alphabet first.<\/p>\n
What exactly is an ABC Adventure?\u00a0 It is the art of letting the alphabet decide what your next move is going to be.\u00a0 It is part Scavenger Hunt, part word play, part travel guide and part bucket list. \u00a0\u00a0 They are always fun.<\/p>\n
Planning an adventure around the letters of the alphabet will force you to be more creative.\u00a0 The letters can be used equally for creating a travel itinerary, or for planning a family reunion.\u00a0 We have held birthday celebrations and Christmas explorations using the alphabet.\u00a0 They may be played individually, as couples, or within a group.\u00a0 There is no age limit to the participants.<\/p>\n
ABC Adventures are virtually limitless and can be done one letter at a time, over a long period of time or do an entire alphabet in a single day…you set the rules.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell you choose a letter, then choose a word which represents that letter.\u00a0 Words can be single or phrases, they may represent something tangible such as the name of a location, or they may be more abstract, such as a color or emotion.\u00a0 Once you have chosen your letter and thought up a word,\u00a0 think up an activity,\u00a0 place to visit, or emotion which represents that letter\/word.<\/p>\n
Ask how you capture this memory with photography.\u00a0 Your words can be used to enhance your description of your activity or use them to stand alone with your image.<\/p>\n
Choose another letter and start again.\u00a0 Can you complete the entire alphabet?<\/p>\n
Make it a little more fun and make up a set of letters.\u00a0 We keep ours in our car so that we are ready for an adventure everywhere we go.<\/p>\n
The letters are great conversation starters.\u00a0 We are often asked what we are up to as we stand in front of a location with our chosen letter.\u00a0 As we explain how we are exploring the world, others want to play their own version.<\/p>\n
This is why we created ABC Explorers. \u00a0 We use our letters to see the world, to build our relationships and to celebrate life. \u00a0 As we share our adventures with you, we invite you to join us in our quest for leading a more purposeful life.<\/p>\n
