Its not all sight seeing
A trip of this nature needs to have a lot of variety to keep it interesting and to prevent burning out. It would be very easy to just go from one place to the next, seeing all the famous sights, but thats not for me. I think that would become very repetitive and would feel like I was doing little more than ticking things off a list. I want something more from this trip. I want to learn about the culture and history of the countries I visit, meet the local people and see how they live, see animals in their natural environment and to mix things up a bit, I want to try lots of sports in the worlds best locations for them. Although I will obviously need some down time, I’ve already got a growing list of sports and locations:
- Sandboarding in the dunes in Namibia
- White water rafting on the Zambezi River
- Bungee Jump at Victoria Falls
- Abseil down Table Mountain
- Kitesurfing at Phuket
- Rock climbing at Railay
- Surfing in Australia
- Snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef and Galapagos Islands
- Mountain biking down the Road of Death in Bolivia
Thats just off the top of my head. In addition to that, I’m sure that there will be a lot of cycling along the way, in some countries its the best way to get about, and I’ll be hiring skates whenever I get the opportunity!
