why we created happiness without<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it<\/b>\u2013 in our hectic times, it\u2019s getting harder to find time for oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people know something\u2019s lacking in their lives, but they just can\u2019t pinpoint what it is exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while many people rightfully talk about finding happiness within\u2026 we\u2019d rather focus on happiness without<\/b>. (It\u2019s not only a pun by replacing\u00a0In\u00a0<\/em>with\u00a0Out<\/em>, but did you know that\u00a0Without\u00a0<\/em>also used to mean\u00a0Outside<\/em>? Well\u2026 now you do.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get us wrong: Yes, there is a part of happiness that you must find within, and we do agree with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But people should also realize a big part of happiness is actually outdoors. To be one with nature<\/b>, to go on amazing adventures and marvel at the outdoors\u2019 beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we\u2019re outdoors, we feel truly alive. Every fiber of our body is awake, and our senses are at their peak joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me you don\u2019t feel like this when you\u2019re outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u202fknow you do, because that\u2019s just how we humans are made. We are made to live in the outdoors and to enjoy nature to the fullest, with our own bodies and through our own experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what\u2019s the problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, first of all, we are too busy at work. And we can\u2019t do anything to fix that, so this website won\u2019t focus on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, we\u2019ll tackle the second problem: analysis paralysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, we want to give you the most useful advice and gear for your specific situation, so you can get out there and stop worrying about if you got it all “right”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019re not one of them and you don\u2019t believe me, but trust me when I\u202fsay so many people actually spend 90% of their free time searching for “how to get it right” instead of just going out there and enjoying the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re one of these people, then you definitely know that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, that\u2019s our mission.<\/strong> We can\u2019t<\/strong> give you more free time. But we can<\/strong> allow you to spend 90% of that free time outdoors, instead of in front of your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who We Are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hi there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re Guillaume Bonastre and Valentina Lopez. An interesting duo formed by a French guy and an Argentinian woman. We travel a lot, but I wouldn\u2019t say we\u2019re “travelers”. Why? Because most of our time is not dedicated to traveling. Most of our time is dedicated to “seeking happiness”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as clich\u00e9 as that may seem, I\u2019m afraid that\u2019s who we are, and so we must admit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal in life is to find happiness, as well as help others find it. And in our quest for happiness, there\u2019s one thing that has always proved to be easy and bulletproof \u2212 enjoying the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether we\u2019re kayaking in Thailand\u2019s beautiful mangroves or climbing a 4000m high volcano in Ecuador, we\u2019re always amazed by nature\u2019s beauty and greatness. There\u2019s something so wonderful and fulfilling about going outdoors, each and every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Can Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On this website, you can expect to receive only the best of the best, the “cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me” of information. Whether it\u2019s giving you advice on how to kayak for the first time<\/a>, or how to choose your gear for a specific expedition, we always strive to make it easy and straightforward for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to give you advice as an experienced friend would, so that you can actually go out there and start enjoying your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t only make sure we\u2019re carefully comparing products and giving you real advice. We make sure that we\u2019re giving you the Best advice for You and Your specific situation. We share actual tips & tricks that will help you enjoy your trip even if you\u2019ve never kayaked before, or if you have a disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to take your hand and lead you outdoors. We want you to feel safe and secure, knowing you are fully prepared. It\u2019s the only way you can actually enjoy each and every trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Clich\u00e9, But What If…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What if all the people you knew spent their free time in the outdoors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heck, what if you yourself spent all your free time in the outdoors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if every time you\u2019re feeling down and depressed, you just grab your kayak or hiking shoes and go for a trip?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As clich\u00e9 as the word “happiness” may seem, I\u2019m sure you will agree on one thing \u2013 being outdoors actually feels<\/strong> like happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let us all stop wasting time on finding the information. Let us all be fully prepared in a minute, so that we can immediately go outdoors when we want to. When we need to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
