What if you could add more adventure to your life? Here are a few reasons to take the path less traveled:

• You crave it. Chances are your bucket list is a litany of uncharted experiences… dream destinations or brave exploits. Acknowledge the part of your spirit that yearns to move closer to the unattainable and grab the brass ring.

• You’ll be happier. Research shows that people who try a variety of experiences are happier in the long run than those who play it safe and have fewer experiences.

• You’ll have more fun if you bring a buddy. Book that trip for 2 and double the fun. One study suggests that taking a friend along for the ride amplifies the pleasure from your adventure.
