What Is John's Adventures (johnsad.ventures)?

Updated

John's Adventures at johnsad.ventures is the personal website of John Conners — a first-person blog, not a company, product, or commercial service. You'll find long-form posts about trips, sports, and personal experiences, written in British English and open to reader comments. It's worth browsing if you enjoy detailed personal adventure writing; it isn't a booking site, shop, or information service.

What you'll find on the site

The homepage presents a feed of recent posts, each with a title, date, comment count, and a long excerpt. The visible posts at the time of writing were:

Post Subject
A Road Trip To The Alps and Dolomites A hiking and road-trip plan through northern Italy, and the training that made it possible
Returning To Mountain Biking After 20 Years Getting back into mountain biking after a long break
John Does Jiu Jitsu Practising jiu jitsu
The Northern Lights Aurora viewing
My Recurring Tornado Dreams Finally End! With a Tornado! A personal account of recurring dreams

The mix shows the site's range: travel, outdoor sport, martial arts, natural phenomena, and personal reflection. Posts are dated (the Dolomites post carries an October 24, 2026 date) and show comment counts, so the site functions as an interactive journal rather than a static portfolio.

What the writing is like

The posts are narrative and personal. The Dolomites piece, for example, opens with the author watching a YouTube video of trail runners on the Alta Via 2 — a 100-mile route through the Dolomites — and deciding he had to hike there. He then describes years of worsening hip pain, a hip arthritis diagnosis, and a slow recovery built on mountain biking and strength training, with the Dolomites as his motivation. The tone is candid about setbacks: false dawns, lost hope, and the tedium of rehabilitation.

That tells you what to expect across the site: first-person storytelling with concrete detail, personal stakes, and no promotional angle. If you're looking for gear reviews, route guides with logistics, or commercial recommendations, this isn't that kind of site.

Who it's for

  • Readers of personal blogs and adventure writing — the posts are substantial and narrative-driven.
  • People interested in the specific topics covered — the Dolomites, mountain biking, jiu jitsu, the Northern Lights.
  • Anyone who likes comment sections — posts carry reader comments, so there's a community dimension.

It's not aimed at people seeking a business, a product, pricing, or a service. Nothing on the page suggests commercial offerings, and no pricing or payment information appears.

How to use the site

  1. Open johnsad.ventures. The homepage lists recent posts with excerpts.

The main thing to know before you start: content is in English (en-GB), and the value is in the writing itself rather than in tools, downloads, or transactions.
