Paddling through the water
Kayaking is one of my most loved sports because through it I get to exercise at the same time I can be in touch with nature and breathe fresh air. This sport gets you to explore and paddle through different sea, rivers and lakes. As for me, I prefer kayaking in whitewater rivers in comparison to the others which a find a bit boring. In whitewater rafting you will be able to feel the rush since you can paddle along the movement of water. There are different grading for the level of difficulty which ranges from Grade 1 as the easiest to Grade 6 as the most dangerous. In Grade 6 you have to master the skills and expertise. Because of the complexity, you might hit a stone or drown. My most favourite spot for this sport is in Canadian Rockies. Because of its popularity,many athletes and tourists try out the downstream adventure. I think this place is very ideal for those who love kayaking and rafting. You can experience the full adventure while you are rushing down the river you can see the perfect scenery of the snow peaks and beautiful canyons. This river would surely give you a ride of your life.
Australian waters
Australia is known for their waters that is why many Australian excel in water sports. They have the world’s famous Bondi beach which is located in the heart of Sydney. It is popular because of its great sand. Aside from the water sports, there are lots of leisure activities you can do in this area. This beach is always packed with people from tourist to the natives. You can see people jogging or just walking around along the coast. Though it is a natural spot there is a feel of commercialism in the area because of the establishments surrounding it. There are also a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants. After a quick dip in the water you can settle on the vast eating places.
If ever you visit Australia one thing you should not miss is to surf their waters. It is one of the most popular activities to do in this country .The southern end is usually the area for surfers. Even international surf events are held in that beach. However if you are still starting on this sport, you can enrol on the surfing schools near the area. In there you can also rent equipments like surf boards and wet suits.
A big jump
When I was younger I was really scared of heights. Even while walking up a tower I can feel my knees tremble. I have to grab the rails tightly to ensure myself that I will not fall. Eventually I wanted to conquer this fear and little by little I became an adventure seeker. The first major step that I had was to do bungee jumping. Upon seeing the height of the cliff I almost backed out but I don’t want to live in frustration and fear so I did muster up the courage to take a step and jump. During the first few seconds my head was blank and after that I opened my eyes and I gasped because of the beauty of the surroundings. There was a different feeling while you are hanging. After that experience it may sound crazy but I wanted to do more of this kind of stuff. My next agenda is to do skydiving, so the next destination is in Taupo, New Zealand which is said to be the sky diving capital. There are schools in their so that you can get a license. There are 3 dive centres but only one does AFF or accelerated freefall which I intend to do. Hopefully this coming summer I will have a chance to do this.
Soaring high
How does it feel like if you are soaring up in the sky? With ziplining you can truly experience the hype of being above and flying. In ziplining you will be in an aerial rope, attached with a harness while you are sliding. In Asia you can find the highest zipline in Lake Sebu in the Philippines. While you are up and gliding, you can ingest Mother Nature and its beauty at its best and it is just around you. This place is developed by the government to be a great tourist attraction. One of the key features of the place is the seven waterfalls which really looks majestic. You can also see the green lush of trees which can be found all over the place. You will also experience the adrenaline rush as you speed down to the other end. For your first ride you may be shouting loudly because of the fear of the height but as the second ride goes on you will be more relax and instead of being nervous you will be enjoying the breathtaking sights just below you. After experiencing this adventure you will surely come back to this awesome place and want more.
Packing up
Hiking and camping is a fun way to have bonding with your family and friends outdoors. For our family reunion this year we thought doing something unusual. Instead of holding it in a hall we decided to go Yosemite instead for an adventure. We will be hiking through the day and have an overnight in the tents. It will be unusual for us since we will all be away from the comforts of our own home.
This place is packed of trails and while you are walking through the path you can see towering trees, lakes, waterfalls, mountains and beaches. A night before the trip I already checked on the must bring items. Since it will be a long hike bringing liters of fluid is a must to keep a hiker well hydrated. Though someone is bringing the food, packing extra snacks will be helpful. To protect myself from the harmful rays of the sun, a hat, shades, a small towel, sunscreen and extra clothing should be handy and this are all placed in a small backpack. For additional equipments they said that we can just rent them for small amount of price. Now I am all set foot for a day’s adventure. Canyon de Chelly here we go!
