To Be Daring

Posted by Miriam

People are already quizzing us on what it means to be daring. Often they ask us to tell them the most daring things each of us has ever done. We’re more than happy to talk about navigating the wonderfully confusing streets of Istanbul (that would be Miriam) or jumping off the roof of her family’s house onto a trampoline (that would be Andi). Yet, while personal feats of daring are fun, and they make for great story-telling, but they are not quite the point.

That’s because daring is more than a single activity or event. Daring is an attitude toward life. Daring is about having dreams and following your dreams, about believing in your passions. To be daring is about seeking fun and adventure, not to mention the mysteries of life. It’s about finding your path, wherever it might be. It’s about having spunk, and about getting in the game.

Now that’s daring.
