5 Best Countries For Adventure Travel

The more adventurous things I try, the more I want to experience - when you travel you get to experience some amazing adventures, some simply seem to happen to you when you head out on the streets, while others are more planned adventures like sky diving, going on a Kilimanjaro trek or  2 week surf trip in Indonesian.

We all like different kinds of adventures, some suit us and some don?t - here is a list of some awesome adventurous countries & activities for everyone:

New Zealand ? For Those Who Want A Bit Of Everything

New Zealand is like a playground for all things adventurous ? from extreme sports to some of the most amazing hiking or relaxing sea kayaking.

First man to climb Mt Everest, the man who ?invented? bungee jumping, the invention of Zorbing ? don?t ask me why these crazy ideas all come from Kiwis, but if you?re into this kind of thing, New Zealand is the place to go.

Sky diving over Fox Glacier, bungee jumping in Queenstown, multi day treks in Able Tasman ? it?s all there for you to explore.

Indonesia ? For Surfing Addicts

Indonesia has some crazy surf and you can spend a whole week or even two on a boat together with a group of like-minded people, a guide and a chef who cooks all your meals.

You travel between surf spots, surfing all day long and at the same time get to explore the amazing Indonesian islands ? for those who love surfing, this is the ultimate adventure holiday.

Alaska ? For Ski Bums and Winter Lovers

Alaska, especially Valdez, is famous for its incredible heli-skiing opportunities, making it possible for you to ski down deep powder snow in otherwise unreachable places, and spend the evenings in cozy huts that are literally in the middle of nowhere.

In this region, whether you go skiing, dog-sledding or go sea kayaking through the glaciers, you get to be one with nature.

Vanuatu ? For Exotic Island Adventure

Vanuatu is that paradise island that you have always pictured in your head or have saved as a screensaver on your desktop.

And you know what? That empty beach you?ve dreamed of, there are plenty of them in Vanuatu.

There is a reason why Survivor has been filmed there so many times, because it is so easy to get away from civilization and reach seemingly untouched nature.

If you have the money to afford it, you can cash out on an adventure to an active volcano, or spend stay a few nights with an ancient tribe in the jungle on one of the many remote islands.

Norway ? For Jumping Nutcases

I?ve always found Norwegian people easy going and lighthearted ? maybe it?s their happy, joyful sounding dialect, but it?s difficult to imagine a Norwegian person being really angry.

Maybe it?s this care free mindset and the incredible fjords surrounding them that has made them want to dive right into it ? literally?

In Voss, right in the middle of Norways most spectacular fjord landscape, the town of Voss has become the capital of what in my eyes is the absolute craziest sport that I have ever encountered ? wingsuit base jumping.

Watching this sport is enough for me, but if you?re crazy enough and have your own sky diving license, then you could try it too.

There are fortunately other ways to enjoy the nature, cliffs and fjords ? you can go river-boarding, rafting, kayaking or even cliff jumping.

There are so many places in the world where you can find adventure, from safaris in Tanzania to mountain biking in France ? which is your favorite adventure destination?
