Let’s go on an adventure…a micro-adventure that is. It’s all about taking those small activities and ideas and turning them into big adventures for ourselves so travel and fun can be accessible and adaptive to happen weekly instead of the occasional holiday. That’s why we’re so excited to have a longtime friend of InvisiYouth’s on the podcast because she’s built a business on taking micro-adventures. It's UK Blogger on Micro-Adventures, Katie May Chesworth. Having lived with chronic illnesses like ulcerative colitis, an ileostomy and arthritis since 17, Katie has grown accustomed to finding accessible adventures she can do anytime. Now at 29, working in the space of writing and documenting her micro-adventures on her popular blog, Postcards From, Katie has brought her over 37k followers along the journey. 

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways: 

1. At 3:20 we get to know Katie’s random responses about her go to wakeup song, why she’s 50/50 on spontaneity and planning, her favorite scent, how she’d survive a zombie apocalypse and the micro-adventure that’s in the pipeline she’s very excited to try. 
2. At 11:26 Katie and Dominique talk about her initial draw to micro-adventures, how she transitioned from doing it for herself to making it a profession, why she feels adding micro-adventures into her weekly routine has actually improved her relationship with her physical and mental health, and what are ways others living with chronic illness can adopt the same whimsical mindset.
3. STORY TIME INTERMISSION at 25:32 takes us on a spontaneous adventure how Katie’s plan for a January Daily Micro-Adventure Challenge resulted in her getting the opportunity to go to Turkey to create content for a month…only that she’d need to go in 72 hours.
4. And our final segment at 31:49 is all about the how-to’s on building your own micro-adventures. Katie shares how to creates her idea list of micro-adventures, the reason it’s valuable to tally in your micro-adventure days at the start of each month before picking them out, why good Google search terms and maps can bring the best results, how solo trips versus family/friends can bring two types of micro-adventure experiences, and her top micro-adventures you can do from home on bad health days or bad weather days.
