Do you need a little excitement in your life? A quarter (27%) of Americans feel like they’ve fallen into a routine rut and their life is a bit boring these days, a new survey finds.
August is American Adventures Month and in honor of that, a poll asks 2-thousand U.S. adults how they feel about adventures and what the perfect one would be like.
- According to 83% of respondents, you can always be adventurous, no matter how old you are.
- Over a third (36%) say they’ve become more adventurous with age, but only 10% feel they could be adventurous in their life now on any given day.
- That may be why the average American fantasizes about going on an adventure four times every day.
- More than 60% say they’re in “desperate need” of an adventure this year, partly because of dealing with daily emotions like anxiety (38%), fatigue (35%) and frustration (30%).
- Things that inspire Americans to get adventurous include a dose of warm weather (34%), seeing the same, mundane surroundings every day (33%) and seeing friends and family take trips (33%).
- So, what does an adventure look like? It can be anything outside their daily routine and experience (46%) that makes them appreciate life more (30%).
- The perfect age to go on an adventure is 42, and the perfect amount of time for an adventure is six days.
- People would be willing to travel just over 27-hundred miles for an adventure to escape the daily grind.
- The top adventurous destinations Americans want to visit are Hawaii (18%), California (16%), Florida (14%), Alaska (13%) and Colorado (11%).
