Start of the #exploringwildbelgium Expedition. Da Start of the #exploringwildbelgium Expedition.
Day 1: baking hot warm up walk in the neighborhood.
Borders cannot close the heart of an explorer.
For reasons we all know, most of us all will be severely limited in their ability able to travel and go on holidays abroad for the coming months. 
As with most problems in life, we can take approaches here. Either we wallow in our own self-pity, or we take a positive stance and make the best of it.
There’s no need to get all stressed out about it if we can just embrace the issue and be creative.
Therefore, Kiki and myself, suggest we all go (re-)explore and (re)discover our own countries. - Go hike, fish, swim, camp,…
- Organize a micro adventure / expedition
- Discover healthy local foods and cuisine
- …
While you do so, share pictures or videos with the hashtag #ExploreXYZ on social media, to show your fellow countrymen, and people from abroad, how beautiful and inspiring your own country is. That way we’ll get hashtag such as :
#exploringwildholland,
#exploringwildfrance
#exploringwildgermany
#exploringwildguatemala
#exploringwildaustralia
Once this spreads as a good virus, we can show just how beautiful our country, our continent and ultimately our entire planet is.
In the meanwhile we all together promote and benefit from a healthy and a little wilder lifestyle.
While going outdoors, we of course urge you to comply with local regulations and safety measures in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Are you in for this adventure? Let us know.
