OUR JOURNEY

From Print to Web3: Our Journey

The Adventure Collective began as a print magazine in Asheville, NC in 2013, covering the Southeast's best outdoor destinations. Over the years, we evolved from traditional travel guides to innovative digital experiences. Today, we're pioneering a tokenized ecosystem that rewards adventurers around the globe for discovering, documenting, and sharing their outdoor experiences.
