Am I Ready for Some Extreme Adventure?

I’ve travelled for sometime but never did I think of engaging into any extreme adventure. I was thinking back then of bungee jumping in Macau but then again my budget wouldn’t let me and I don’t think I have the guts to do it during that time.

The most “extreme” adventure that I had when I was backpacking was biking, yeah I know it isn’t really an extreme sport but biking side by side with huge trucks in Vietnam is.

These kinds of extreme adventure would definitely be a hell lot of fun not to mention a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something daring.

Since I’m also planning of backpacking again after a year or two, I came up with my own list of extreme adventure that I want to try when that time comes.

Hot Air Balloon Over Guillin, China

I went to Gullin last year and I just fell in love with the beautiful karsts that surrounds the area. I was just speechless as I rode a raft down the river while staring at the beautiful scenery. I saw a shop that was offering a Hot Air Balloon ride, though I didn’t bother to ask for the price since I know that I might not be able to afford it. But I will definitely go back to Guillin just to wonder at the beautiful landscape while riding the Hot Air Balloon.

Great White shark cage Diving in South Africa

I like animals and whenever I travel, I make sure that I visit the local zoo. One animal that amazes me is the Great White Shark, though I wouldn’t dare to swim near them though except if I’m in the safety of a cage. These animals are gigantic and damn scary, probably one of the greatest predator on earth and it would be such a cool experience to do that. (I’ve swam with Whale Sharks this year, though it’s definitely harmless compare to the Great Whites)

Skydiving in Sydney

I’ve never been to Australia before but I’m planning to visit this continent by next year and I’m thinking of doing something else aside from the usual sightseeing. There are lot of adventurous things to do in Sydney. I’m thinking of skydiving, yeah you heard me right. I want to skydive even if I’m so afraid of heights. This would probably the only activity that would give me the illusion that I’m flying. I’m sure this would be an awesome once in a lifetime experience.

Which extreme adventure are you dreaming of doing in the future?
