Why Theory of Roaming?
As the founder of Theory of Roaming, I’ve always been fascinated by the driving force behind human exploration. Why do we feel compelled to venture into the unknown, to push ourselves beyond our limits, and to seek out new experiences? Through introspection and personal experiences, I’ve come to realize that our thirst for adventure goes beyond mere curiosity—it’s ingrained in our very nature.
With the future goal of interviewing others, the aim is to delve into the “why” behind our collective pursuit of challenging ourselves. By engaging with a diverse range of adventurers—from seasoned explorers to everyday thrill-seekers—we hope to uncover the deeper motivations, passions, and fears that fuel our quests for adventure.
Through these interviews, we seek to not only inspire others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery but also to foster a deeper understanding of the human spirit. By shining a light on the stories and experiences of fellow roamers, we aim to illuminate the universal truths that bind us together in our shared pursuit of exploration and growth.
