EXPLORINGNOTBORING

exploringnotboring.com exists to inspire more living, less boring! We're your connect to a whole lotta local flavor 🌶️ Unique experiences, new friends, and fun vibes are found here. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, we strive to uncover uniquely local experiences to explore anytime, anywhere.

It started as a joke and now we’re here! Celebrate with us, we’ve reached the 300-day milestone on our Mega Roadtrip across the United States 🎉

Jump to our YouTube video below. You might have just as much fun living vicariously through our adventures as we did exploring New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama & Florida. Perhaps you’ll even get inspired to do something you’ve never done before!

Psst . . . if you haven’t watched our 100 DAYS ON OUR MEGA ROADTRIP video yet, check that out to see what wild experiences we got into through Utah, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas! If anything, you’ll enjoy a good laugh 😂

FYI – Roadtripping like this isn’t for everybody, but for the life enthusiasts, free spirits, born explorers, this is an adventure that must be experienced—it’s eye-opening, enlightening, invigorating, elating, and yes, sometimes a bit terrifying.

SETTING OFF ON OUR MEGA ROADTRIP

We started this journey for many reasons, but the biggest ones include:

  • Explore new places we’ve never experienced
  • Discover local experts who have created epic & unique experiences
  • And find a cool new place to plant some roots for a while

DO THAT THING PEOPLE CALL “CRAZY”

Sometimes you’ve just got to do that thing other people say is “crazy” and take the risk leaping into the unknown. If you really think about it, life is most interesting when you keep one foot in order and one foot in chaos, anyway.

THE MAGIC OF OUR MEGA ROADTRIP

We’ve experienced all the highs and lows on this trip. From the bad—Karl (our handy, dandy road home) breaking down in Tallahassee to experiencing the most terrifying 12 hours of our lives sheltered in place in Rotonda West during Hurricane Ian.

To the good—meeting new friends, exploring new places, trying new foods, discovering the coolest local experiences, and connecting with all our amazing EXPLORINGNOTBORING Partners throughout the United States . . .

Don’t worry Sarah @ Laugh Healthy, we’ll get to you, but Minnesota is going to have to wait until after Winter 🥶 We’re acclimated to this hot ass Florida weather now! ☀️

The truth is adventuring on the road 24/7 is an epic journey. We’re super grateful for our girl Erin who turned us onto housesitting the week we set out on the road.

Not only has housesitting provided us some stability, it has also connected us to some super cool, down-to-earth locals who know all the secret spots, good eats, and local knowledge of the places we want to check out.

It’s provided us a shortcut to discovering the best these places have to offer ✨

We have plans to share a whole video on the topic of Trusted Housesitters—how it has shaped our trip, how we find the best sits, and all that good jazz.

But for now, while you wait for our lives to calm down enough to devote our time toward raving about this cool community, you can check out their website here.

It’s a mind-blowing way to save money on travel accommodation or meet special characters like us. If you’re interested in it, use our discount code to get 25% off!

WHAT YOU LEARNED IN OUR 100 DAYS BLOG

Here’s what we taught you in our 100 DAYS ON OUR MEGA ROADTRIP blog:

Money can’t buy happiness, but social capital can!

Oxytocin, a hormone released by the paraventricular nucleus within the hypothalamus, stimulates dopamine release during social interactions.
