Loved this book to pieces! I have no real notes to add except that all the pictures and stories left me massively seething with jealousy.

States of Adventure, Stories About Finding Yourself by Getting Lost by Fitz Cahall is an excellent book to lose yourself in. Yes, the point emphasizes finding yourself, and I love how the background is set up to do this. When you are in the wilds of nature and you push yourself past what you believe to be your limit, then you truly find yourself. Maybe you prefer to live vicariously through others, or you just need some new inspiration, this is a great book! The pictures are stunning, and the stories are truly motivational and inspirational. There are activities, traditional and non-traditional from all over the world and covering all seasons, so there really is no excuse not to take a peek and try it out. I especially enjoyed the perspective of the people being interviewed as it provided great insight into the how and why for some of the selections.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

This isn't what I expected and at first I was disappointed, and then I was really pleased and excited. The stories are like snapshots, so some of them aren't as complete, but each one describes a big adventure. Every one is impressive in its own way, and I cried after reading the story of the brave lady who borrowed a dog to make an impressive snow trek and then got to adopt the dog. I highly recommend this, for the stories, for the pictures, and for the sense of adventure. Read this and then make your own dreams come true! Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

States of Adventure is a wonderful and adventurous book. It will cause you to start planning your next adventure. Better than the stories are the fantastic photos.
