The Grand Adventure: 5 Things You Should Experience as a Young Adult
While many senior citizens create bucket lists of grand adventures they’d like to have, some activities can be too thrilling for a body of an advanced age. To properly experience and survive these grand adventures, you should definitely opt to experience them as a young adult.
Skydiving
Deciding to jump out of an airplane at 14,000 feet above the Earth and free fall at speeds of up to 120 MPH is not for the faint of heart. Be sure to only book your skydiving adventures with a professional skydiving company like Sky Dive Elsinore. This type of adventure should definitely be experienced as a young adult so that you can physically endure the experience.
Hang Gliding
Hang gliding takes private flying to an entirely different level. You will find yourself suspended from the metal frame of an air glider as you use your body weight to operate the glider. It is launched into the air by running off of a high elevation such as a cliff. This is another adventure that requires a young, strong heart and nerves of steel to survive.
Backpacking
Backpacking is the act of traveling through remote places using only public transportation, cheap lodging, and your backpack full of personal possessions. It’s a minimalistic way to travel. You’ll often find yourself wandering into remote areas, trying new foods, and seeing sights that are well off the beaten trail.
Bungee Jumping
Considered one of the most death-defying thrill rides, bungee jumping can make your entire life flash before your eyes as you plummet several hundred feet straight down to the ground suspended only by a bungee cord. There is the potential for multiple types of injuries, even if the bungee jump is a success, so only attempt this if you’re young and healthy.
Ziplining
If you’d like to get a bird’s eye view of the most remote and exotic places, look no further than ziplining. This is an activity where a harness is suspended on a pulley that’s attached to a zip line. You settle into the harness and travel down the zip line to cross over a large distance. Ziplining can really get your adrenaline pumping, so be sure to experience this while you’re young.
Should you decide to take up the challenge of experiencing one or more of these grand adventures, be sure to take plenty of pictures or wear an action camera to capture every heart-stopping moment. These adventures you have while you’re young will be the wonderful stories you tell your grandchildren in your golden years.
