Zachary W Rothe | The best extreme travel adventures in the world!

There’s something totally liberating about being away from your home soil! People always say “live in the moment”, “enjoy each day like it’s your last”… but realistically who actually does that around their studies or 9-5 routine?! When you’re traveling these clichés suddenly make sense and become a way of life, rather than overused phrases that everyone aspires to do but somehow can’t manage. When it’s just you and your backpack, far, far away from home you can live in the moment, bask in the freedom and do things that would seem overwhelmingly ridiculous in ‘real-life’! Check out 10 of the best extreme travel adventures in the world!


Full Moon Party + Fire Limbo – Koh Phangan
Surviving Koh Phangan's Full Moon Party is an achievement in itself! If you manage to swerve the lethal buckets, mushroom shakes and an island full of pumped-up lunatics then you’re winning. If you’re totally fascinated with fire than the temptation to outdo the locals at fire limbo, fire skipping or diving through a fire coated hoop is too much to wrestle with. It’s easy to get carried away and think you have superhuman powers and can beat the ultra-bendy Thai men. Blame the buckets!


Surf in Jeffrey’s Bay – South Africa
Surfing and traveling go hand in hand… If you’ve been out roaming the earth and ended up in a beachy town then you will have probably given surfing a go. It isn’t scary, like some of the other experiences but I can see why it might be. The oceans are often so big and murky looking from the shore and even from the board you can get moments of ‘I wonder which creatures are looking up at me, thinking hmm tasty’. Ok, I’m talking sharks again. These creatures were around millions of years before humans. We all know the fact: more humans die from coconuts landing on their heads than being attacked by sharks. I loved surfing in South Africa’s Jeffrey’s Bay (made famous by cult surf film Endless Summer) but you are thrashing around like a cute seal in the shark’s domain. Check out this pro-surfer video in J-Bay. But, there is nothing more thrilling than catching a wave for the first time!


Water Rappelling – Costa Rica
Some say repelling and some say abseiling… it’s both the same thing and involves dangling, or majestically bouncing down a rock face. Water-rappelling is nearly identical but you bounce Spiderman style down waterfalls. If you watched Bear Grylls putting celebs through their paces on Celebrity Survivor then you’ll have seen Costa Rica’s finest water-rappelling sites. You do get a little practice go and can be done with no prior experience at all! Whilst you’re in Costa Rica you may as well have a go on Latin America’s longest zipline (1.5km) and check out the rainforest superman style as you are clipped to the zipline by your back.



Bike Death Road – Bolivia
I’m toying with not recommending this one… Ok, all I’m going to say is that if you do decide to go for it and mountain-bike La Paz’s infamous Death Road, do not Google or YouTube it in advance! Go in completely ignorant to what lies ahead and enjoy the terrifying yet exhilarating journey. If you’re not as fit as a fiddle, no worries as it’s nearly all downhill. Maybe practice squeezing a tennis ball, over and over in advance – because those brakes will get a hammering and your arms will become locked on for the 4-5 hour white-knuckle ride.

His mind is often brooding about to go to new places and he desires to do and comprehend all the cultures and regions. My traveling started when I quit my job and took a one-way flight from Miami to Guatemala, leaping nervously into the unknown and leaving much of my old life behind while embarking on an epic adventure around the world. The experience has been a wild ride — traveling to over 50 countries, meeting countless people, and I’ve learned a ton since I first left! Having adventures like hitchhiking across America, camping in Greenland, trekking through Afghanistan, and much more — the world has been an amazing teacher. I eventually turned writing about my journey into a successful travel blog, and continue to travel on a regular basis as part of my dream job. 1: Patience Is Important Don’t sw
