Adventure
An adventure is an exciting experience or undertaking that is typically bold, sometimes risky. Adventures may be activities with danger such as traveling, exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, river rafting, or other extreme sports. Adventures are often undertaken to create psychological arousal or in order to achieve a greater goal, such as the pursuit of knowledge that can only be obtained by such activities.

Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation or wikt:excitement, excite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
