What Do You Know About Amazon Raft Race?
Are you looking for a new cultural and adventurous event to add to your bucket list? Here is some info about the Amazon Raft Race. In 2016 I was a journalist and photographer in the amazon raft race. The Great River, Amazon Raft Race, is a three-day, 132-mile race down the mighty River Amazon from the small town of Nauta to the city of Iquitos. The four-person teams will be paddling near-identical lightweight balsa wood log rafts. This event is one of the most challenging sporting events globally, and an interesting fact: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Great Amazon River Raft Race is the longest raft race in the world.
Here's Why You Should Attend Amazon Raft Race
- First of all, It's fun! The Great River Amazon Raft Race is like going back in time to a way of life that no longer exists in the civilized world. The race also includes a prep day in which each team must build their raft out of eight to ten wooden logs, which they would then race down the Amazon River. Sounds like Survivor, only better. If you think things are too civilized and you want to disconnect and unplug for a week, this could be for you.
- It's a multicultural event. Every year people from countries all around the world participate in this event. Some of the countries participating are Germany, Australia, Belgium, Iran, Ireland, Canada, Scotland, USA, Mexico, New Zealand, France, the Netherlands, Peru, United Kingdom, etc.
- You experience teamwork and group competition with your friends and family. It's an opportunity to meet and enjoy leisure time with your friends.?
What did I learn as a designer?
- The power of teamwork: The most effective collaboration happens when individual team members harmonize their efforts toward a common goal. Effective teamwork causes higher productivity, fewer internal struggles, and a more enjoyable work experience.
- Building a community around your brand: Enable connection to build more engagement. A sense of community is the most unique and powerful thing when you create an experience. A group of people having a particular time naturally attract more people to that experience. Adventurous design: experiences are a journey. When you design, you are telling the story of your customer within your plans. I learned that every design is an adventure like the amazon raft race, "An experimental journey."
- Users as designers: In the amazon raft race event, each team must build their raft. At the end of the day, you see the collection of various boats that have different personalities. I learned the value of customization in my designs, and I see "every user as a designer."
