Step 2.

Be an explorer!

I would think there is no greater adventure than being an explorer! Can you imagine being one of the first people to explore a new land? You may see:

Animals, plants and landscapes that have never been seen by another human before.

People who speak a different language and whose culture is so different from yours. You may wonder if they are friendly or dangerous.

Since you are exploring, you won’t have great shelter so you may get caught in extreme weather.

Warning! You may get lost and have no idea where you are!

Can you “explore” somewhere close to you? Maybe your family would go on a walk with you somewhere unfamiliar. Can you take a notebok along so you can sketch any animals, trees, rivers that you see? Can you make a map of the area? You might see a river or mountains when you are exploring. Make sure to add that to your map!
