So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain If you haven’t already done this with your life, it’s never too late to begin. At Outer Edge, we pride ourselves on our love of adventure, of the unknown and of doing and seeing things others might have never imagined possible. Our contributors are go-getters. They are the people who get out of their comfort zone and step into the wide world of possibility. They achieve, they succeed, they fail, they try again. There truly is no better feeling than knowing you have achieved something amazing. Exploring the world. Living your dreams. Discovering new places and people. Some of the highlights of my own exciting life have included camping in the wilds of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, where we would listen to the elephants and hippos crossing by in waters just metres away (and know crocodiles were in those same waters, lurking and waiting); skydiving over the alps in Austria; climbing Dune 45 in Namibia at sunrise; flying a plane over Brisbane and completing the very slippery journey to the top of the Ice Cap in Greenland at Kangerlussuaq where you can see nothing but snow for miles. Just to name a few! In 2 months time, Charles and the Polar Challenge team are heading off on their own adventure to Antarctica – to create new world records, gather data and make dreams come true. We’re all getting very excited here and hope to pass off some of that excitement to you through Edition 42. You only get one chance at life. You can spend it thinking about all the things you could be doing out there in the big bad world – or you could be getting out there and living it! The choice is yours. “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” ~ Andre Gide Edition 42 is our Adventurers Edition and we want nothing more than to inspire you to get out there – explore, dream and discover!
