I always regret trying to be serious in a TP thread, but viva is right. Sort of.
Have you ever been on a long backpacking trip? Granted, wide open spaces don't compare to cramped capsule conditions, but the whole only having 40lbs of stuff total and no civilized comforts does. The issue is not boredom. You're always super busy because absolutely everything is hard. But... because things are always really hard the people you are with matter a lot. I have friends I like that I would never go on expedition with. They would drive me crazy. Finding the right group would be paramount.
Your reasoning in how I have reached my conclusion. Before I got into keyboards, I was a bit of an outdoorsman. I have been on long backpacking trips and spent summers in remote places with a small group of people. Personality conflicts boiled over to the point that everyone was ready for the summer to be over (but also left with unforgettable memories). Being able to get along with other people in the group is as important as anything else.
The lowest drama situations were small groups of people of the same sexual orientation (gender was of lesser concern). That way, the focus was on getting things done and having a good time rather than worrying about who is attracted to who and what person is talking **** behind another person's back.
Granted, we were younger, but adults tend to carry the same immaturities into their later years.
