Adventure Starts Here: Making Outdoor Time Easy, Fun, and Doable
What if adventure didn’t require plane tickets, packed itineraries, or elaborate planning, just curiosity, courage, and stepping outside your front door? In this episode, I’m joined by Debbie Bamsey, founder of the Adventure Buddy, to explore what “adventure” really means for families today. Spoiler: it’s simpler, more accessible, and more transformative than you think.
Debbie shares how Adventure Buddy inspires families to explore the outdoors with confidence, creativity, and a spirit of connection. We talk about why getting outside matters now more than ever, how small adventures can build resilience and joy, and why kids crave real-world experiences far more than perfectly polished screen time.
Together, we unpack:• Why outdoor time is a natural antidote to screen-heavy days• How families can start adventuring without big budgets or big plans• Simple ways to build a mindset of exploration into everyday life• What happens when parents loosen expectations and let curiosity lead• How Adventure Buddy empowers families to rediscover wonder, courage, and connection
Whether you’re already an outdoorsy family or you’re just hoping to spend a little more time in fresh air, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to choose your next adventure.
Tune in, take a breath of fresh air, and let’s step beyond the screen together.
