what is the most adventures thing you have done?

Answer 1

Hard to pick just one so here are a few-
1-Bunging off a 330ft bridge in New Zeland. We all know the feeling of falling and that wasnt to bad, but I wasnt prepard for getting jerked back up as such a high rate of speed.
2-Trekking in the Nepali Himalayas to Everest base camp. Highly recomend it to everybody. You dont have to be in Olympic shape just reasonably fit. You meet great people all along the way, and its cheap once you get to Kathmandu.
3-Diving with +300 sharks circling me off of Rangiroa, French Polyinesia
4-Photo hunting Rhino and Lion on foot in Africa. I am an amimal lover and never understood the thrill of hunting until I got with 20 feet of these monsters, what a rush.
5-Rafting the Zambizie(the world's most dangerous whitewater that is commercially rafted) on what they called a "river board. It was a $20 add on too the rafting trip so I figure "sure why not?" They give you a pair of fins and a 3 ft styrafoam "boogy board" and throw you in the water with a "guide". In the water with the class 5 rapid about 20 seconds in front of you the guide tells you "whateve you do dont let go of the board, and unlike the rafts you dont have enough mass to go over the rapid, you have to swim through it. Well when I got to the lip of the rapid, I looked down into a hole in the water 12 feet deep and about 20 ft across, got sucked down. Fortunately I remmebered caution #1 and held on to the board, unfortunately I didnt remember advice #2 and didnt kick through the rapid, so I went down shot up the other side and and was thrown backward to do it all all over again. This time I kick through it. The next one was 30 seconds later and got through it with no problem and the raft was waiting and I happily got in, deciding that staying in the raft for the rest of the trip would be just fine, thank you.
About a minute later still getting my breath, we floated by 4 Crocidiles sunny themsleves on the the shore. When I inquired about them, I was told "Dont worry they are Vegatarians, the only ones below Victoria Falls got washed over as babies, otherwise they wouldnt survive the fall, so all they eat is fish"
Glad I did it but wouldnt do it again!

Answer 2

I wanted to write a story about the effects of the tightened security on the Mexican border after 9-11. Many small villages, and their inhabitants, were dependent on tourist traffic at non-official border crossings and many of the children would walk across to Texas daily for school. Since losing the income, some of the villages have turned to contraband for survival.
I walked across the Rio Grande from Texas to a tiny Mexican village and hitched a ride with a friend of a friend of a friend further inland. The roads were dust and rock, steep and terrifyingly curvy. Virgin of Guadalupe statues were set up before really bad stretches so motorists could get out and pray before driving. There was a bullet hole through the windshield that the driver said "just happened one day." I stayed in a friends little house and went to a cockfight heavily attended, I was told, by drug lords. Before the main event, souped up trucks drove around and around San Carlos blasting music and checking each other out. The alleged drug lords wore flashy cowboy style clothing and sat in metal chairs close to the pen where young boys would let loose roosters with razor sharp spurs attached to their talons.
The next day I had to hitch a ride out on the back of a motorcycle, stopping only to be questioned by the armed teenagers working the government checkpoint in and out. It was an adventure and I wouldn't do it again. Never even wrote the story.

Answer 3

My husband and I hiked up to 10,700 feet on a backpacking trip in Grand Teton National Park in 1987. We went up one canyon, over a very high pass, and down into another on the way out. I misread the topological map, thinking it was only 9,700 feet up at the pass. What a difference 1,000 feet can make. We're from near sea level, and even though we'd been travelling in the area for about 4 days, it nearly killed up.

On the other had, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. What an incredible spot! We were walking on a narrow trail covered with 3 inch stones basically on the edge of a cliff. We had to cross small glaciers that crossed the trail, camped next to an incredible tarn, and had deer walking through our camps. I highly recommend a day hike into Cascade Canyon to anyone we ventures out in that park.

Answer 4

It's a toss up between hand-feeding a full-grown male tiger, called Bruno, and going on a safari trail in a 4 x 4 in the Kruger National Park when we were confronted by an enormous bull elephant blocking our path while we were surrounded by his females and babes. We sat motionless, hardly daring to breathe because he could so easily have crushed us. Then he just trumpeted and walked off into the bush, followed by the herd, and we let out a sigh of relief. On both occasions, I was high on adrenalin for a weeks!

Answer 5

Drove across the Vizcaino Desert of Baja California to Bahia Malarrimo and Bahia Tortugas, the farthest points of the "hook" of the peninsula. Really hot, terrible or no road. No services, no nothing. The guide books indicated that treasures could be found piled up in the hook, cases of Scotch, fishing floats, etc...we found Japanese shampoo bottles and bridge pencils from the Princess Cruises. A dsiappointment, but good campfire storytelling.

Answer 6

I am a single female from the southern U.S. that's currently in South Korea teaching English to little kids....

I basically knew no one here before I came and live by myself.... so yes, I'm still living my "adventure"....

Although I plan to do lots more traveling in the future... I might even go to a country where the at least 25 percent of the people speak English (here.... I think it's probably around 10-15 percent fluent English speakers..... yeah, it's a challenge. But I love it!)

Live life while you can, when you can! And, of course, having fun is a must.... not worth it otherwise! :P

Answer 7

Flown at 15,000 feet over snow capped mountains in a glider at Aboyne in Scotland, England three years ago. It was in a certain flying condition known as 'wave'. It was awesome, but freezin....at minus 32 degrees. I was wearing a ski suit and was still frozen to the bone. It will be a lifelong memory, thanks for asking!! Also, I returned from a world cruise 10 weeks ago which visited many countries including circumnavigating Australia....that was awesome too. Sadly, its time for me to get down to some work now...you can't play forever. Hope you find something awesome to remember for the rest of your life.

Answer 8

My brother, cousin and I bought Europasses and traveled by train from Germany to Italy. We got a train car that the seats folded down so we could sleep - in the middle of the night as we passed the borders the officials would come down the aisles yelling for our "Carte" so they could check tickets and passports.
We visited market places and beaches and saw beautiful works of art. One very inexpensive place we stayed in Italy was next to a race track. Late at night we could here the hoof beats of the horses. It was fun and exciting discovering new places, people and foods.
