Guest Post: 10 Outdoor Adventures You Should Do With Your Date
There can be nothing more romantic and intimate than to get away from technology and to escape into nature with your partner. It definitely beats dinner and a movie and it is a lot of fun. If you are going on a first date, it is also a great way for the two of you to get to know each other. Here are 10 outdoor adventures you should do with your date.
1. Hiking
Find some local hiking trails in the area. Perhaps they have a gorgeous view at the top of a mountain, or they are near a rushing river. Or they are just a nice walk in the woods. It is a good chance for the two of you to enjoy each other's company or get to know each other if it is a first date. At the end of the hike you will feel relaxed and energized and closer than ever.

If you need to get away for some definite alone time, then camping is the way to go. You can enjoy an intimate night in the woods and without technology to get in the way the two of you can just enjoy each other. It is a great time for cuddling and talking and getting intimate. If roughing it does not appeal to you then you can always rent a yurt or a luxury tent so you can still enjoy the seclusion of the woods without feeling uncomfortable.
