The coming year will be the year of little adventures according to the Lexus NX report The Art of Feeling More as our approach to exploration has changed with a much stronger focus on hyper-local day-tripping. This coupled with our desire to be surrounded by nature means that we ve found plenty of off-the-beaten-path secret spots right on our doorsteps. Award-winning French photographer Floriane de Lassee has discovered how much her local area offers especially for her creativity: Being at home over the last 18 months I discovered the wonders of the surrounding forest. I ve lived in the same place for 40 years and hardly knew it. The forest is not a direct source of inspiration but a way that allows the brain to disconnect and find peace so that deep thinking can take place. A survey conducted by Destination Analysis in 2020 gave further confirmation of the little adventures trend as 57 per cent of those asked said they planned to avoid crowded places for their next trip and 40 per cent said they d consider camping renting a motorhome and heading for more remote destinations. Floriane believes that a distinction needs to be made between a break and travel: People often confuse taking a vacation and travel. I always take my vacation in France. I think taking your vacation locally will be a big trend. The car will become a symbol of freedom for this kind of local or European trip.
