You’re cooped up inside. The sun’s beaming down like it always does when you have to stay home and you’ve mainlined your third cup of coffee. The little voice that normally pushes you out the door is sitting grumpily in the corner, chalking up another tally mark on the wall.

But suddenly inspiration strikes. Do adventures actually need the bush? Can’t I just climb my kitchen cabinet, camp on the perfectly-fine grass in the backyard or get barrelled on… the couch?

We were blown away by the Home Grown Adventures you guys submitted. Here are some of our favourites!
