We all define adventure differently. It could be a brisk hike through a well-marked trail in Hawaii, a guided exploration of sunken ships in the Mediterranean, or a 100-metre bungee jump in a secluded New Zealand forest. Whether exciting, scary, or a simple change of pace, adventure challenges you to step outside your comfort zone, to find new ways to excite yourself, and to come home with a great story. Adventure is at the heart of most travel experiences, but how you choose to adventure, is up to you.
