If your day job involves working in an office and sitting at a computer all day long, it can be hard to find time to fit that essential dose of excitement and adventure into your life. Travel and adventure holidays are perfect, but a lot of would-be adventurers are held down by the constraints of the day job. A lack of holiday time leads to an absence of adventure, which in turn can create unhappy and dissatisfied employees.
