Adventure
I am one of those people that can never sit still or be cooped up indoors. I usually go crazy during the winter if I don't go and do things outside or go to work out. I love adventure. I am a thrill seeker and I love adrenaline rushes. Anything from white water rafting, to amusement parks, I absolutely love. I have been to the roller coaster capital of the world in Cedar Point, Ohio. It is an amusement park called Cedar Point. It is home to some of the fastest and highest rollercoasters in the world. The biggest is the Top Thrill Dragster. It takes off at speeds of over 120 miles per hour and goes over 300 feet in the air. We waited in line for two hours to experience ten seconds of gut clenching thrill. It went so fast that my started watering and it looked like I was crying. It is still one of the best rollercoasters I have ever been on. In Hawaii we went zip lining when we were on one of our cruises. The course weaved its way through the rainforest and spanned huge cliff drop offs. Several of the lines were over 1000 feet long. It is also home to one of the longest zips in the world and one of the only water zip lines. There were single and tandem lines meaning you could go side by side. On the long zips you had enough time that you could flip and hang upside down. At the water zip you held onto a bar that went off over a cliff and dropped you into a natural waterfall. You could also jump straight off the cliff if you wanted to. I have went cliff jumping in several places. There are a few spots that are around 30 feet high around my home and then I have gone on several vacations. Whitewater rafting in West Virginia had up to level three rapids and a rock at about 40 feet that you could jump from. I think it would be so much fun to go sky diving or bungee jumping. I couldn't imagine how much your stomach would roll as you free fell through the air. I don't always do crazy things. I love to go hiking in the mountains and in the desert. Usually anything outside that is active I would want to try. At my grandparents house we go tubing on their lake when it is warm and go ice tubing behind a snowmobile during the winter. I am terrible at skiing and snowboarding but I think it is a lot of fun and have tried several times. Most of my fun usually revolves around some kind of water. Swimming is one of my favorite things to do and I also would way rather be in the warmth than the cold. I love adrenaline and will never turn down a challenge or opportunity to have some crazy fun. Traveling all of the country and to different parts of the world has exposed me to so many amazing things that you can do. I know for sure as I get older I will continue to travel to try and quench my thirst for adventure.
