Are you tired of spending all of your vacation time visiting family? Do you get sick of sitting on your parents couch and watching tv because you'd have felt guilty if you had done something else with your vacation time? Getting over the guilt can be hard. At the same time, every once in a while you need to take a vacation that you can enjoy. Why not have an adventure the next time you get some vacation days? With the weekend adventure options out there you could have your adventure and keep your parents happy at the same time. Here are some adventure travels you should try.
If you get joy from the outdoors and like to use your survival skills for living off the land, why not go on an Australian Walkabout? These have increased in popularity, especially since one of the main characters on the TV show Lost tried one out. The original concept of an Australian Walkabout is for you and your co-adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback, while being guided. You solely live off the land, when participating in a walkabout. You search for your own food, construct your own shelf from the items you can find outside and take on any "elements" that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It can be described as extreme camping and can be very satisfying. Do you love sightseeing? Do you love being able to tour places you've only read about in books? Why not take a sightseeing adventure travels tour of somewhere you've always wanted to see? Popular destinations include Greece, Rome, Ireland and Scotland, Africa, China and Tibet. Seemingly there is a sightseeing tour to be had in just about every country in the world, so just pick a location and sign up for a touring trip! Let someone guide you through your chosen country's culture and history.
Have you ever played with the idea of a deep-sea fishing trip? For a majority of people, fishing doesn't enter their minds when they dream about adventure travels. When you are out on the big blue sea, however, fishing is much different. Besides wrangling typically larger fish, you are also dealing with the ocean elements. You never know what can happen, out at sea. After you decide what type of deep-sea fish you want to wrangle into a boat, you'll be able to figure out your destination. On the other hand, if you desire, you can also determine the area according to the climate and "home base" scenery. One popular deep sea fishing point is Hawaii.
Not all adventure travels have to be dangerous and life threatening. You can have a glorious adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or praying a shark won't nibble on a cage. Meanwhile, that is only half the excitement of any adventure-based vacation, for an adrenaline addict.
The key to having a truly adventurous journey is to go outside your ordinary limits, and still have a blast. Go for it!
