If you are longing for a truly unusual adventure instead of a routine mainstream holiday, you are in the right place. And if you are a beginner adventurer, this is the blog just for you.

At Another World Adventures we are really keen on ensuring the adventures we feature are accessible in terms of experience. Some trips occasionally need you to have some experience in a discipline, like running or sailing while others are perfect for beginners and experts alike. This blog is dedicated to the last category. There is always a first time for everything, even for adventure!

On the other hand, if you are not a beginner and are looking for extremely rugged trips, then the blog for you is “be like an Olympic champion“.

Sail the Moroccan Coast and the Canaries

No previous experience is needed for this sailing adventure, just a lot of enthusiasm! You will be part of the crew for 14 days and two expert instructors will teach you everything you want to know about sailing. This is a hands on adventure, so it is really up to you how much you want to know about sailing and the motto of the providers is sail, train, explore. And the Canaries are just a perfect place to learn, a true paradise for sailing.

There will also be non-sailing days where you will enjoy some beautiful beaches and local food. You will take part in other activities as well, like kayaking and cycling. A mix that ensures great fun!

Northern Lights Finland

This unusual adventure will give you the chance to see some of the most magical experiences: seeing the Northern Lights. You don’t need any particular experience to take part in the trip, just a basic level of fitness. You will eat at an ice village, meet the Lappish people and learn the way of life of reindeer herders. You will also have fun on board of a reindeer sled!

A dog sledding ride is also included, and you will attend a short lesson about how to ride it before you go. And for a perfect end, you will spend the last night in a wilderness cabin with zero light pollution: the perfect spot to admire the Northern Lights.

Food courses in Tuscany

Take part in this food adventure and challenge your cooking skills in a beautiful village in rural Tuscany. Experts in different fields will come together to teach you their culinary secrets. You will take part in various workshops, ranging from cheese, to chocolate, to wine. A perfect culinary mix!

And for sure there is no better place to learn cooking that an ancient castle in Italy. Castello di Potentino is a medieval building in the middle of the countryside. Located in Monte Amiata, this is one of the least discovered parts of Tuscany.

Even if you are a beginner to adventure there’s nothing like setting a goal for your trip. The cycle adventures in particular range from leisurely/moderate to challenging. If you book something with enough time before departure you can get yourself up to speed with training .. same goes for expeditions and horse riding trips, so don’t be afraid to set yourself the challenge. We are here to provide guidance and advice on picking the best experience for you.

Remember: it’s never to late to start living an adventure! And like Susan Sontag said, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list”.
