Thirst for Adventure

Ever since I can remember, I have had this thirst for adventure. The more extreme, the better.

skydiving

bungee jumping

base jumping



white water rafting

I found out that the highest bridge to bungee jump off of is in South Africa (Bloukrans Bridge), so I'm saving that for when I go to South Africa.

My roommate who I stayed with in Cambodia did an adventure school, where she went to South Africa for 6 months. Here are a few pictures from her trip:

Pretty epic, right? She also went swimming in caves, climbed mountains, and went bungee jumping. Sounds like a dream come true.

Recently, I also found out about obstacle course races...
Here's an article that tells you more about them:

These types of races test your endurance, strength, are fun, and usually have a great cause behind it that you can support.

I would have LOVED to do one this year, but I found out about them much too late...All the races have passed. :(
I will definately be keeping my eyes out for next year.


Although I have this thirst for adventure, whether it be hiking, or all of the things listed above, besides hiking, I haven't completed any of the things above that I really would love to do. It makes me sad to think of that, but I sincerely hope that in this coming year, I can finally check something off that list. :)

How about you? Do you think I'm a pile of crazy for wanting to do these things? Or do you also have a thirst for adventure that you're seeking to quench? Let me know! Leave a comment..I'd love to hear from you :)
