yes, but is that a "good" adventure or a "bad" adventure? could go either way, depending on the circumstances.

I loved that movie. Looked very cool.

For "exhilarating" adventures, I'd probably go for something along the lines of climbing, rafting, or hang-gliding/paragliding.

For "scare the pants off me" adventure, that'd be sky-diving or bungee jumping (haven't done either, yet)

I prefer my heights on a comfy seat in a pressurzied cabin.

Taking a slow boat through the Amazon!!

I'm planning on attempting my ultimate adventure in June of 2008. I'm hoping to ride a bicycle from Alaska to Argentina. I don't know much about cycling. My spanish generally is adequate enough to handle the Taco Bell menu. I'm not really sure how to get there, other than to go "South." Nonetheless, what I can say for certain is that I will start it. Leaping out of the comfort zone - that's always a great adventure in itself!

I'm living it!

Diving on the Similans everyday with Manta's, running my own dive shop, living in Thailand, eating Thai food everyday, required by law to visit a neighboring country (BUrma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam) once every three months, surrounded by jungle, crazy bugs and hundreds of other details.

You know, that game you play when your young - where will you be when you are 25, 35, 45 etc.... This was not on the list of things I had hoped for. Well pleased with the way things have turned out. I am sure there will be even greater adventures ahead (reproducing) but I reckon I am so deep in the middle of this one that I can't think of what's next...

Hey! i plan to do my ultimate adventure on my way back to Nepal this coming October 07 i hope.

1. Ultimate Bungy Jumping
2. Paragliding
3. Rafting (thisuli River)
4. Mt. Everest climbing

i could actually go alone, but if anyone interested are welcome to join. i think it can make a better deal if going by group.

im walking from calais in france down to south africa

Well I've done some of what I want, travelled down the Zambezi, Bunji jumped from Victoria Falls, crossed through the veldt and jungle on foot, hike Belize, crossed the Mojave, sailed the Gulf of Mexico, but there are two that have really crossed my eye lately.

1.)Camel trek across the Sahara.

2.)Cross country through the Gobi.

It may not be as glamorous as K2, but my ultimate adventure would have to be the north of Norway. No trees, total sunlight or darkness, poisonous plants swaying in the wind, no trees, and a landscape untouched.

give me a tent and some boots and some rations and I’d go walking for a month around their, grab a visa for Russian before I went and walk into Russia!!

For me, I think the ultimate adventure would be a solo, self-supported kite skiing trip across Antarctica. Probably, not viable on many levels, but, I'd settle for a trans Greenland trip instead.

I have a couple of ideas...

First: I'm with Sideways Elephant - sailing round and round the world would be great.

Second: Doing the Bicentennial Trail on Horseback - 2000+km of trail from the top of eastern Australia to the bottom through National Parks most of the way.

Third: Swimming with Whalesharks (I've already swum with White-tip reef's, Bronze whalers, Tiger shark and an enormous Shovel-nose so to swim with one that doesn't have teeth would be a novelty).

Fourth: Long time now I have wanted to do a Sea-Kayaking trip for a few weeks, hopping from island to island.

That sounds amazing. Too bad you're set on a solo trip...

Performing a split and roll in an F16 ranks right up there.

I've always wanted to scuba dive in Antarctica. I'm grossly under qualify for that kind of diving though. Hopefully someday.


I also would love to learn to fly ultralights and go fly in remote locations all over the world. Flying out over a canyon or 20 feet over the rainforest canopy or .... I better stop day dreaming or I'll never get back to work.

I have plans to do all these:

Race in the UAE's World's Most Preferred Endurance Ride

Travel through the Andes on foot with a guide.

Do 1000 jumps by my 35th bday

Travel the Amazon river on a small river boat.

Run in the Baja 500 in a modded Cherokee.

Do Alaska to the tip of Argentina on motorcycles

Do Japan to Ireland on a moto.

And, England to South Africa in a Landie.

Cliff dive on every continent.

Sail around the world (and, take my time doing it).

Do some surfing in C. America, S. Africa, Aussie/NZ/Taz, Oceania, SE Asia...you know- all the cool spots.

Do a good bit of snowboarding (my favorite- never get to do it) in various locations.


I'm not one for climbing mountains, but I would definitely like to travel across a few ranges. Who knows. Maybe I'd like it. I'm a total adrenaline junkie.

Cross the Darien Gap on foot (yes... yes- I've heard everything from "that's incredibly stupid" to "that's not possible". I'd fed-ex my moto from to bmw dealership in Panama City to a dealership in Colombia and walk through. :P

Take the same journey as depicted in the Illiad and the Odyssey.

Bicycle through India

Hitchhike through the US...lmao.

I'm 20 now, so I've got quite a few years ahead to achieve these goals :P

a) Riding a bicylce up to Lhasa.
b) Riding 'home' to Switzerland through Pakistan and Iran.
