Looking for the positives...<br />
Over the last few months, we have seen massive change; to our lifestyle,<br />
communities, and economy. It’s easy to throw out platitudes about ‘silver<br />
linings’, but the reality is there are a lot of people, friends and associates whose<br />
businesses have been devastated, years of work undermined. Now a murky<br />
grey future of uncertainty still awaits them. Sure there are positives as in every<br />
situation, but we need to look squarely at the future and know that what was in<br />
the past will not be coming back any time soon – if ever.<br />
But it is equally important to look at that which does not change – here at<br />
<strong>Adventure</strong> we were astounded by the support that our online ‘free to the world’<br />
issue received, which we brought out mid-COVID. I would love to say it was<br />
carefully planned, but it wasn’t, it was us thinking on our feet trying to find the<br />
best way forward. We sat daily bewildered by the number of people who read the<br />
magazine. At one stage it was being read once every 25 seconds (you can follow<br />
the link at the bottom if you wish to see that issue).<br />
In a time of ‘whoa what’s coming next’ we had this beacon of positive<br />
reaction. Regardless of what the world throws up, we are committed to an active<br />
and adventurous lifestyle. Now more than ever, we generally believe that seeking<br />
that adventures lifestyle is vital for us all. It makes us healthier, both physically<br />
and mentally, it strengthens our environment and communities. We live in one<br />
of the most incredible places on earth, and for every one of us, <strong>Adventure</strong> is<br />
accessible.<br />
I am sure by the time you read this; we will be in Level One – embrace<br />
all that it has to offer; visit local, buy local, and invest locally. Be an advocate<br />
for your friends and family and encourage them to venture out. If they lack<br />
confidence, then use one of the agencies that will introduce them and their family<br />
safely to the outdoors.<br />
You will see throughout this issue a new second logo associated<br />
with <strong>Adventure</strong> called Taiao – it’s the simple symbol of a nikau palm and<br />
the word ‘Taiao’ which means environment. It is time for us to grasp our<br />
own environment. We can be proud of what kiwis have achieved through<br />
this COVID experience, how it’s been overcome, how we have been<br />
supportive of each other and how we have set a standard for the world.<br />
Its now time to take that to another level and show the world how we as<br />
kiwi can invest finically, emotionally and physically in our own Taiao our<br />
own environment, because it is that investment locally, is what we can<br />
control, what we can count on, that will give the most reward to both us<br />
and our community for the future.<br />
