  2. I think people of all ages now have a keen interest on travelling, adventures starting with classic tourist trip (sightseeing) to active holidays (mountaineering, backpacking). And here I've found very useful criteria of choosing adventures because It's really important to know what will be right for you. These criteria also helped me to reveal how adventurous I am. It turned out that I am not adrenalin junkie and not risky at all. Besides, I knew a lot of extraordinary activities I've never heard but would like to try.

  3. Adventure is an exciting, bold, and risky activity full of potential and dare which gives an unusual experience to the people who try adventuruos activities such as skydiving, montain climbing, travelling and so on.
    For me, doing adventure is the most exciting experience of life and life without adventures is like body without heart.
    Despite this there are a lot of activies that i haven't tried yet. And i'd like to try sky-diving, diving, and surfing.

  4. Sometimes my heart asks me for adventures, foe extreme. I'd like to try almost everything in our world. Something like yoga in India or it may have been a self-drive tour of American or European cities. Moreover, surfing, diving, sky-diving, sailing, mountaineering are in my future plans. I wish I would do them!

  5. The most fascinating activity to me it's a sky-diving and I really want to try it. Sky-diving is deadly dangerous occupation. Of course, there is a risk of injury, but it's new, unknown, unusual sensations and vivid emotions, which you can never learn and experience. The injury seems to me are very rare and mostly minor, but the memories will last forever!

  7. Life can sometimes be rather boring. All of us need adventure. It makes our lives more absorbing!
    Currently you can find any thrilling activity which you'll certainly love.
    Personally, I'm fond of skiing.If you want to keep fit, you should try it! I enjoy spending winter holidays where I can ski.
    I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Life is short! Live an adventurous life!

  8. I'm quite adventurous person.Extreme- sport activity appeals me.If I were rich and had special equipment, I would like to try sky-diving. Prices depend on hether I'm doing a dive one-off or going as part of a program or package.
    I think risky sports has a positive side.It would help me to overcome fears that affect me in real life.

    1. I agree that extreme sports help people to overcome their fears of taking risks and to build character( sky surfing or bungee jumping and so on). It’s very important for people who work a lot and cannot cope when things go wrong, which mean that they can’t control the situation.

  9. Hill walking is the antidote to a hectic world. It would be interesting for me to take part in hill walking, if I had the opportunity. Not to be confused with hillwalking climbing and professional climbing. This kind of activity is closest to the Hiking - the simplest kind of climbing, but here the direct routes is kept to a minimum: you're going either up or down. So if we talk about the benefits for the body — it's just a fitness holiday.
    "The attraction certainly cannot lie in the view to be obtained from the summit; for as a rule the view is better when you are looking at mountains, not from them. It is not solely for the physical satisfaction of making the ascent, though there is no better exercise in the world than climbing. I hope it is not simply in order to have the gratification of telling other people about one's achievement; nor for the self-justification of carrying out a difficult climb in spite of contrary odds. No, there is a greater satisfaction than that in it: the beauty and aloofness of high mountains and the hard physical effort which is required to visit them combine to produce an emotion which has an inexpressible charm for those who have experienced it. Mountains have always been acclaimed as the dwelling-place of the gods, and the mountain spirit reveals himself at such moments to his worshippers." (F. Spencer Chapman)
