Adventures? Tell me yours!

[zestfive]

My dear LJ friends....What have been some of your adventures that you've been on that you have enjoyed? I'm going on adventures but I'm curious about yours. I'm doing this to find myself...I think I've lost me. What are my preferences and what do I want to do? I like what I'm coming up with but I don't even know what's possible.

Ooh! I love this idea. Are you looking for huge world-wide ideas?

* Visited the Taj Mahal (fabulous!)
* A cathedral tour in Paris
* Snorkeling with lemon sharks in bora bora
* Driving across country stopping at amusement parks :)

I have a bucket list board on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/dreamsrundeep/bucket-list/

I'm looking for any and all ideas! Thanks for the pinterest link...I'm scanning it. FUN ideas.

Of course, I'm sad that there is no way that I'll likely ever be married to someone for 50 years in this lifetime. Oh well...nothing I can do about it now.

I don't know if this qualifies as an adventure but I once visited the Mayan city of Chichen Itza. While there I climbed a pyramid, visited the ritual ball court, stood above the Sacred Cenote ("Well of Sacrifice"), and went inside the El Caracol observatory. I would love to go back some day and visit again and perhaps visit some of the other Mayan ruins.

Hmm...international travel, I could do it but I think I need to travel locally alone first. I'm not quite ready for that yet.

And yes, I think it does qualify as an adventure!

Well, I don't know where exactly in the country you are located but I have also found spelunking to be great deal of fun. It's infeasible on the east coast due to the outbreak of White Nose Syndrome among bats meaning they are under voluntary quarantine to prevent any further spread of the illness to other uninfected colonies since they are fairly sure spelunkers are spreading it when they go caving. If you are somewhere else or willing to drive somewhere else there are caves all over North America. I would of course not advise you go spelunking on your own as that is about as safe as ice skating on a partly frozen lake in April

Yeah...lots of these adventures I'm likely to undertake solo so I don't think the caving is a good idea for me. :-) I've always loved the idea of urban exploration (or abandon property exploration) but I tend to be a rule follower so I don't take that risk very often.

I do like those hidden places...geocaching has helped me find some of them.

My father used to take my brothers up to the Quetico Park along the border of Canada and Minnesota when they were boys. A plane took them and their stuff way out into the wilderness, and they canoed (sp?) back for several days, maybe a week. That might not be your cup of tea ;) but it's pretty close to you!

As for me, teaching in China or anywhere qualifies as an adventure. I've always been more interested in traveling overseas than domestically, though.

Oh yeah, I went camping as a kid with my family to the BWCA. I loved it all except the leeches! I hate leeches! I'm not sure I'd be up for doing that alone but perhaps I need to explore some of the outdoor women's adventure groups.
