I love the look of this. A small suggestion: why not challenge the notion of 'adventure'? From the site copy, I'm thinking you'll be writing mostly about scenic voyages abroad. It would be cool to see some city adventures documented as well (e.g. urbexing, underground scenes, the kind of stuff not usually covered in travel guides).

Its an ebook. An extra page doesn't cost you much. The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure

And aside from the text adventure aspect, its based (in part) on a real cave system, one you can crawl inside. As you can see in:

I know I have only given outdoor examples, but I live in a city and have found plenty of ways to have an impromptu adventure amongst the skyscrapers. I'll be adding a few urban adventures to the book for sure.

You mean something like: http://www.ninjito.com http://sleepycity.net etc?

Awesome links! Thanks!

sleepycity has the best noscript I've ever seen:

  While sleepycity will (mostly) function without javascript, your experience will be improved by enabling JS for this site.
