We heard a rumour that you’ll spend more than 90,000 hours at your place of work in your lifetime. Seriously, don’t think about it too hard. That’s one-third of your life. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Make the other two-thirds count with our top seven epic adventures to put you (and your cool socks) on the map, plus give you plenty of #blessed content for social media to make your mates jealous. Gotta get that pic for the ‘gram!
Don your sox and get out and about
Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk
Sydney’s famous coastal clifftop walk will take you past stunning beaches, rock pools, vistas, and sprawling parks.
Appalachian Trail
Be at one with nature on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world, which takes you 2,000 miles across 14 states from Maine to Georgia in the US. It takes most people roughly six months – that’s long enough to wear 180 different pairs of cool socks!
Machu Picchu
Discover the mystery of an Incan citadel set high in the mountains of Peru. Step into the mist (but not beyond!) and soak up the thrill of ancient history and 360 views.
Half Dome at Yosemite National Park
Just like Ace Ventura, you’ll find yourself standing on top of a mountain, arms spread wide, calling out to the wild.
Pacific Crest Trail
Made famous by Reese Witherspoon throwing her hiking boots off the side of an epic mountain in that movie Wild, the PCT is a hiking trail that stretches from the Mexican border of California all the way up the western side of the country to the Canadian border. You can do a Reese and throw your boots (just don’t throw your Don Sox, please)!
Kokoda Track
A once-on-a-lifetime experience awaits you on Papua New Guinea’s Kokoda trail. Trek 96km of rugged mountainous terrain steeped in WWII history and emerge feeling like a (sweaty, tired, but fulfilled) hero.
Everest Base Camp
Around 800 people attempt to climb Mount Everest each year. Will you be one of them? You might want to don a few extra pairs of cool socks from your biggest fans at Don Sox to keep away the frostbite!
Where have you been that’s knocked your socks off? We’d love to know! Comment below.
