What's the Most Adventuresome Thing You Have Ever Done? JFF

Bungee jumped in my 20's. Not a big deal compared to what you have done. I need to make more of an effort to get out and do more!!! Good for you!!

I went parasailing several years ago & it was terrifying. I'm glad I got the opportunity & took it when it was presented, but I will never do it again!

Military & Paramilitary

Met a guy online, flew to Boston to visit him for a couple of days. Completely plutonic - but stupid! Can't believe my mom "let" me. I was in my early 20's and she knew about it. Before the cell phone era.

Took a teaching job in Las Vegas without ever having been there. Then drove cross country by myself to get there to live with a lady I had never met. Then worked in an at-risk school and stayed! Lol.

Went on a vacation with my mom. We were driving down to Branson, MO. When we got there we didn't like it, so we decided to head south and avoid the severe weather coming through. We ended up in New Orleans.

Mom and I drove up the coast of California just because. I wonder where I get that sense of adventure and confidence to do anything? Hmmmm. Miss you mom!

Probably the most adventuresome thing was hopping into a Montero Sport (husband and I) with 2 guys we had never met in a foreign country (New Zealand) to go driving off into the forest and taking a raft over a 6 meter (18-20 feet) waterfall with them. In hindsight, we were ridiculously naive and trusting. But it was great!

I'm not the most adventurous. I'd like to skydive, but may have to be pushed when the time comes. I've wanted to bungee jump, but I have back and neck problems.

I've given birth to 2 children at home without drugs by choice.

I moved across country, for a job, by myself, to a rural logging town (I'm from Chicago). I only knew one person (my cousin) who lived 2 1/2 hours away from where I was.

I've held a baby bear a few months old - in a zoo. It did bite the kid who held him next.

I hate guns, but went out shooting with an old boyfriend. It was a semi-automatic military rifle.

I've hiked 10 miles round trip by myself - was a popular trail

I've driven 30 miles down a rural gravel road, by myself in a car that wasn't the most reliable in an area with no cell phone service - ok that was just stupid.

I spent a few months riding shotgun reposessing cars.
I gave all my belongings away, packed up my kids into my 96 Ford Taurus and moved 10 hours away from my family and friends.

When I was 18 my cousin and I packed up everything we could fit in her car and moved 17 hours away from home. We had no job lined up and no apartment, and rode the entire trip with a tv on my lap.

Oh, that would have to be my trip to Israel in the 70s. I was an "innocent abroad," I had no idea what I was getting into. My traveling companion, my bff's mom, suspected it would not be safe. I was criticized by a relative for going. We went with a tour group.

It was fine for a few days, then terrorists landed on the coast (we were in Jerusalem), killed an ambassador's daughter on the beach, then proceeded to kidnap a bus (which was full of bus drivers on vaca, not Americans). The city under curfew but after a few days, we left for the Lebanese border. Kept seeing tanks. At one point, an armed soldier searched our bus.

On the border, we went about our normal business. Went to bed. In the middle of the night, we woke up to tanks firing! The whole sky was pink. We were actually in a cross-fire. There was the sound of tanks firing all night long but I was able to sleep. The next morning, we ate breakfast & windows were still rattling from the tank-fire.

After we left, we heard that mortar shells had fallen in Metula, where we had been staying.

From that point on, I could not wait to leave. Was so glad to be back home. Had nightmares for a while & vowed never to return! :(

* ate some crazy stuff over there & mounted a camel (against my will; was scooped up by a local)

I haven't done it but Gatorland in Orlando has a zipline over the gators. We were there yesterday (teachers and a guest get in free this month) and they have just started the zipline. It goes over the main "pond" of big gators. It seemed expensive to me, but I'm sure it's quite an adventure. :)

I've done ziplining and parasailing in Mexico. Loved them both and would do both again in a heartbeat (I love heights). I went on volcano tours in Nicaragua, including an excrutiating climb to a waterfall.

For me, being a mom is truly the most adventuresome thing I've ever done! :)

I went to Europe on my own when I was about 25. I also went scuba diving in Hawaii, Mexico and Grand Cayman.

i want to go sky diving, mine i simple compared to yuors, parasailed a bunch, went in caves without safety harnsesses that had big cliffs to explore, yea and thats pretty much it, i dont consider those things risky though, i pt a tiger and a wolf too

I've done no-cage shark feeding in the Pacific, and dived with tiger sharks and hammerheads. I've dived wrecks at night when my flashlight failed and gone cave diving (with more sharks patrolling the entrance!).

I'm doing a ghost tour next week too!

We backpacked through Costa Rica for 3 weeks with no set plans or reservations upon arrival. Slept in a tent on beaches all over the country; and all by ourselves next to a lake and a volcano that erupted at night, causing all the howler monkeys to go crazy! A two-footed large creature knocked our tent in the middle of the night and scared the beejeezus out of us! And we didn't speak Spanish, so that in itself was quite an adventure :)

Let's see - kinda on adventurous sometimes...

Did the dolphin swim - but it was at SeaWorld and youngest son was there, too!

First time I ever flew, I was a chaperone of a band trip to DC! Good thing flying like that doesn't bother me!

Took a 2-week driving vacation up thru IN and across to SD,etc, back down to CO and a nite view of Vegas before stopping in TX due to flash flooding which ended up us driving all the way home in rain, ugh! Had AAA triptix, but didn't use 'em, just used the large roadmap we bought! Did hit a few gravel roads, but what do you expect in buffalo country? *L* Oh, and made no advance reservations - my coworkers thought I lost it!

Youngest and I hiked 12 miles down into the Grand Canyon - but on the Indian side, not the National Park side! Rode horses back out - don't think I could've made it back up that incline the next morning!

Years ago, took off w/my 2 oldest and took them to Kings Island - in a car that probably shouldn't have done that in and back then there were no cellphones! Didn't tell anybody either - mom was not happy!

Those are pretty mild compared to some! Would like to see/do many other things tho!

Ziplining is fantastic - what a rush! I highly recommend that. You might find short ziplines of just a couple hundred feet, not high off the ground that you can try initially. I haven't been on a very long one (a short one in Mexico; there's a great one in NC my husband has done). I think there's a new one in the Catskills in NY. The one in Costa Rica is supposed to be the best (I have cousins who've been on that one).

Paragliding off a cliff is also amazing, can't wait to do that again (unfortunately, we are in FL & the paragliding was in N. San Diego County, CA!). THAT was the most daring adventure I've participated in. Beautiful, peaceful, free feeling - There is a gliderport between Lakeland & Orlando, but there are no hills, so I'm not sure how it works & don't know anyone who's been.

Hot air ballooning in Sedona, AZ is fantastic - though I'm sure it's great anywhere.

I've also been swimming with dolphins (FL & Mexico), sting rays (FL, Caribbean), & sea lions (Mexico).

Skiing was quite an adventure for me - I'm terrible at it. Slid most of the way on my back. It's just not for me! But snowmobiling - 2 thumbs up! Snowmobiled to the Continental Divide in Colorado - it wasn't all easy going, some of it quite treacherous.

Another fun (summer) activity that some ski slopes set up are like downhill go-karts (with a brake, of course) - ride up the mountain on the ski lift & then ride these little carts down cement tracks, twisting & turning the whole way down - there's a place called Jiminy Peak in the Catskills (CT, I think) that does this - even with a caged roller coaster section.

We went stand-up paddleboarding recently, for something tame, but it was a really nice time.

Another easygoing sort of adventure is innertubing down the Rainbow River - it's a spring, so you can see straight to the bottom - water is crystal clear & icy cold. It's an adventure because it's FL, so you know who lives along the FL waterways... You can also swim with the manatees in several places.

There's iFly in Orlando - a wind tunnel that simulates sky-diving (my husband did that this year & we're all going to go).

Hiking & biking everywhere too - Grand Tetons, WY is incredible, Maui & Kauai, HI - breathtaking, Sedona & Grand Canyon, AZ are amazing; any caverns (love Howe Caverns in NY) - though spleunking isn't for me! NC & NY have many beautiful mountains & gorges to explore.

Luckily my husband travels for work, so we get to try things all over. He's been paragliding & spleunking, kite-surfing, whitewater rafting, mountain climbing/rappelling, horseback riding & hiking all over. Have fun with your next adventure!

Parasailing, Tandem Bungee sling with husband, we have traveled to Nicaragua for the last 6 years (we do not speak very good spanish) and have bought some property there. Zip Line in Nicaragua twice, went to the top of an active volcano (smoking not erupting LOL). I would love to try whitewater rafting next.

at 28 i moved to Peru for 9 weeks all by myself, to learn spanish, then got back and planned my wedding in 8 weeks.
i also moved to Chicago from small town Oklahoma at 19, knowing no one in the city.
