“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to Live!”

When talking about The Bucket List Project with people, it is often quite easy to start listing tons of wild and crazy adventure activities and experiences! Perhaps this is because outside of exploring new destinations, people long to feel different sensations and emotions to remind them that they are alive!

But why would anyone want to ever jump out of a plane just to know they are alive?

Well, I don’t know specifically about jumping out of a plane. In fact, if you ever see me strapping on a parachute getting ready to jump, you might want to consider jumping too cause there is something probably wrong with that plane!

But there are many adventure activities and experiences out there to make you feel alive!

You see, as we all get older, it is quite easy to fall into a rut of convenience and walk the path of least resistance. Perhaps that is because we don’t want to look or feel scared as adults. But in general, if you are feeling nervous or scared, that is because you are about to do something brand new or attempt a great adventure. Often new things bring on a wonderful sensation of nervousness and even a touch of fear as you initially tackle a new adventure activity or experience.

So, if you’re looking to get your heart pumping and juice up your adrenaline then discover the wild bucket list adventure activities and experiences we have decided to tackle ourselves! But don’t judge us because everyone is crazy in their own way!  

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to Live! What items on the Adventure Activities & Experiences #Bucketlist would help you feel alive? Is there something you just won't try? #adrenaline #adventure Click To Tweet
