How to Live a Life of Adventures in 2012

By Will Kelsay

January 27, 2012 (Boulder, CO) — The cushy seat of the shuttle bus, the chattering voices of passengers all around, a huge ear-to-ear grin from the elated feeling of infinite possibilities; that exact moment on January 14th, 2007 is saved in crystal clear mental HD as the precise moment that I decided to stop putting my dreams on hold and to start living a life of mind-blowing adventures.

In that moment, I decided that those excuses and fears would no longer hold me back and I forever changed my life.
