While you might be content with your current life situation, it’s never a bad idea to ‘spice things up a little’ and create some great memories. I’m constantly looking for adventure ideas that are quite unique and pack a “whole lot of awesome.”
Some of these will obviously be a bit more difficult to experience than others, but I think everyone can apply at least one of these to their lives this year and get a great adventure in return.
Take a Road Trip with No Planned Destination
At eighteen I moved from the UK to South Africa, on my own, in pursuit of my dream job. And whilst I was in one of the most beautiful countries in the world I had never really gotten to see much of it. Therefore when my brother came to visit for two weeks, we decided to take a road trip with no real destination in mind and ended up covering around 1000km.
Funnily, about 500km from my home in Cape Town I met some people I had seen in some nightclubs a week earlier, and proceeded to meet more amazing people from around the world. Luckily we didn’t have any problems with accommodation, so depending on how long you are planning to drive, keep some important phone numbers with you just in case.
Sleep Under the Stars
If you’re looking for a simple adventure but one packed with beauty, this could be right up your street. Sleeping under the stars can be as simple as setting up a tent in your back garden or visiting a nearby camp site to gaze on the world’s beauty.
If you want to go extreme and take a planned sleeping under the stars trip, supposedly one of the best places to visit is Petra in Jordan, where they organize this with a tour guide and you sleep around a camp-fire.
Go Bungee-Jumping
Another exhilarating and relatively cheap adventure idea is bungee jumping, excellent for those adrenaline junkies out there. This was something I got to try about six months ago, hurling myself off a bridge and reaching 120mph. The experience was nothing short of amazing.
