Something about exploring the world and making memories. A blog that covers the best adventures you can have at home or when traveling.
My name is Ally Mashaura and I’m the creator of Adventures Pursuit, your one-stop site for all your outdoor ideas, product reviews, and a place to help you build the best outdoor experience possible.
As a child, growing up in Tanzania, I was lucky enough to have a dad who owned a touring business with his friend, where they offered safari tours and excursions to American and European visitors. Through this, I and my brother were able to visit most of the national parks in the country, which is something most people never get and cannot afford to do.
To this day, I am very grateful for this opportunity. It made me grow up believing that humans and animals are meant to live side by side and, in hindsight, this is probably when I developed a profound love and respect for nature and all its inhabitants. Fast forward to my teenage and young adult years spent backpacking through South America, Iceland, Vietnam, and Europe and, by then, it was clear that I was an outdoor enthusiast.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t shy away from the responsibilities that come with being an adult and ended up settling for a 9 to 5 job in a big city, like most people. Still, being an introvert and an avid adventurer, I sought a way to reconnect with my inner child and escape the routine lifestyle in any way possible.
That’s when I applied to be a location manager in Scandinavia, providing kayak instructions, briefings and handing out camping equipment to travelers embarking on their own adventure.
Since then, I have discovered a new way to keep exploring the outdoors in a way that combines different activities (kayaking, camping, and fishing) with a sustainable form of traveling from point A to point B, through untouched natural areas.
As I embark on this environmentally conscious and adventurous way of traveling, I hope to connect with other people seeking an authentic experience, by sharing my thoughts and acquired knowledge through this site.
I hope you enjoy it!
