How to be an Adventurer, for real

This page started as a post on the regular Karavansara blog.
You can read that post here.

Basically, these are the results of my search for the truth about being adventurers as a profession.
I’ll update this page whenever I have the opportunity.
In case you have an article or video to point out, please drop me a line in the comments, and I’ll add it to the list.
Cheers!
