What is Adventure?

Different people have different opinions about what an adventure is, but most will agree that it's usually an exciting, risky experience with an uncertain outcome. But still, it's all relative, anyway.
Adventure involves stretching your body or mind, or both. I prefer the latter and traveling does this. Sure, skiing on extreme terrain at a local ski resort, climbing the highest mountain, or rafting down the river sounds exciting. But even more so if you do it thousands of miles away from home.
Although you don't have to try out all the extreme sports to feel adventurous. Simply being in another country on your own is adventurous enough for most. Hitchhiking, getting off the beaten track, avoiding organized tours is my way of feeling adventurous.
