Do you dream of walking in the shoes of an adventurer? Do you picture yourself touring a remote land, scaling an extreme mountain or just trying something new? Do you get excited when you think about pushing your limits and expanding horizons? If so, why do you settle for wearisome vacations? Why are you settling for sitting around and twiddling your thumbs? Why not your heart rate up? No matter what kind of activity you enjoy or what boundary you want to push there are adventure travels out there just waiting for you to book them? These are some options for the person who is fed up with the same vacation over and over.

If you get a thrill from being out in nature and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not participate in an Australian Walkabout? These have become trendy especially after one of the main actors on the TV show Lost made an attempt to go on one. The original thought for an Australian Walkabout was for you and your fellow adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback on a guided tour. When you are participating on a walkabout, you completely live off the land. 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 is like extreme camping and can make you feel really good.

If you're into extreme adventure travels, why not take a hot air balloon trip somewhere? Have you thought about a white water rafting adventure? Have you kicked the idea around of Bungee jumping? Some people are titillated by skydiving. Seemingly, there are spots to do this in many different towns. When extreme adventure vacationing becomes an option, skydiving over the Grand Canyon becomes a possibility. Partake on a hot air balloon adventure over the Australian outback. When you decide to become an extremist the world becomes your playground. For individuals interested in extreme vacations, India is notorious for paragliding. Why not give that a whirl?

Are you a foodie? Do you enjoy learning about and trying cuisine form around the world? Why not try a culinary tour? By all means, Italy is among the height of popularity when it comes to food destinations and people who want to try cuisine in it "native habitat." Ireland, Spain and Greece also have wonderful "culinary tours." These types of tours give you more than just the option to try food prepared by a "native" chef but also to learn how to cook it for yourself. This is a great adventure travel for an up and coming chef or any food connoisseur.

Adventure travels don't all have to be reckless and death defying. You can have a perfectly adventurous vacation without bungee jumping, sky diving or hoping that a shark won't bite through a cage. On the same line, for the adrenaline driven, that haphazard chance is only half the fun of an adventure based vacation.

The key to having a truly adventurous journey is to go outside your ordinary limits, and still have a blast. Do it!
