>>508405417 (OP)tf? 'adventuring' back in the old days was basically risking your life for fame and fortune. Nobody grabbed their suit of armour and went on a 'noble quest'. For 99% of people, it was peasants or otherwise people very low on the social order, trying to get access to a 'spot' on some ruling elites plans for expanding their wealth, power or influence. Historically, it was religion or land.
What I mean is that most 'adventurers' were willing to risk their life for pay. And you can still very much do this today. Go and risk your life in Somalia - join some pirate group. Go join the Houthis in Yemen. Go join the US military. Go volutneer for an Greenpeace (but getting onboard the really 'exciting' adventures will require you lobbying some ruling elite within the organisation much like the day so fold). Go join your local volunteer firefighting brigade. Go be a conflict photographer in Israel or Iran.
"adventure" is everywhere. You just have to understand that 'adventure' historically involved risking your life. often for some stupid reason.
Pic somewhat related. it's one of the last pictures I took in China before being dragged off the street by the police for a 'friendly chat' about why i was taking photos.
