The Craziest / Nastiest/ Interesting or the Funniest thing you ever want to do when you are traveling

Advertisement
Everyone wants to do something weird or interesting every once in a while when they are traveling around the world. And that makes the journey more interesting than it already is and you can tell stories to your loved ones (or the grand children someday) as one of the greatest experience you've had in your entire life.

These are ones that I have done:
Ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain
Visited an incredible exorcism temple in India

In response to: Msg #156783

What a fantastic list! Though to climb the pyramids you may need to pay baksheesh as it is illegal to do so. However, when you go inside the pyramid you do climb a part of the outside to enter, so that might count. Reply to this

Wow your list is extremely interesting and "Set foot on every continent" was my personal favorite. I really wish I could do that some time in the near future.

Best of luck to you with all your travels in the future and I hope that you will be able to achieve everything in this list someday soon too 😊

Hi fellow travelers,

Great topic! I was inspired a couple of years ago by some great friends of mine who bought a dugout canoe in Ecuador and ventured down the Amazon alone and camped on the river banks along the way at night all the way to Peru. I am in Asia now and have been thinking of doing a similar trip sometime in 2014 or very early 2015 going down the Mekong all the way from the origins in China to the mouth in Can Tho, Vietnam camping along the way seeing nature at its finest!!

Great topic and ideas!!
