News of subscribers leaving the streaming service in their thousands hit the news and their share price took a nose dive. The company shed a whopping 200,000 subscribers in Q1 of this year and is on course to lose another 2 million by the end of Q2. We have fallen out of love with Netflix, but why? Maybe this headline signified something else entirely \u2013 people were finally leaving their living rooms and getting back out there. Which is brilliant news for tourism both in Australia and everywhere else, not to mention our mental and physical health (and passport stamp collection!).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We all need adventure In our lives<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_613548650\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1661\" height=\"1650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Great Barrier Reef\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1.jpg 1661w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-1024x1017.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-1536x1526.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dropbearadventures.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sail-and-Dive-Adventures-Snorkeller-HIGH-RES-1-2048x2035.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1661px) 100vw, 1661px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_613548650 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>The Netflix exodus just goes to show that our fundamental thirst for travel and adventure is alive and well.
