What if missing out was the best decision you ever made? In today’s hyper-connected world, Western River Expeditions invites adventure seekers to unplug and embrace the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)—where screens are replaced by starlit skies and the only notifications come from bald eagles soaring overhead.
“For years, we’ve tried to explain the intangible magic of a rafting trip,” says Kam Wixom, Marketing Director at Western River Expeditions. “Ironically, what people fear most—the lack of Wi-Fi—is exactly what transforms their experience. JOMO isn’t just about escaping technology; it’s about rediscovering life.”
Why JOMO is the Ultimate Adventure Upgrade
Digital detox retreats are trending as people seek an antidote to information overload. A 2025 survey found that 72% of Americans feel overwhelmed by constant digital connectivity—and 68% would consider taking a break from screens for mental well-being. Western River Expeditions offers an escape where travelers can swap stress for serenity, endless scrolling for epic scenery and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for a far better deal—JOMO.
Fast Facts on JOMO with Western River Expeditions:
- Zero emails. Zero Wi-Fi. 100% adventure.
- 3-7 days in a remote canyon — where noise and notifications are replaced by nature’s soundtrack.
- Days and nights completely off-grid — enough time to reset, recharge and reconnect with what really matters.
- Unmatched starry skies — no filter required.
- The perfect remedy to being overwhelmed – no regrets.
