The Nobel laureate André Gide once said “It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves.” Adventure may mean different things to different individuals. As kids the greatest adventure for us would be to conjure ways to remain awake past the bedtime. With passage of time, our priorities and choices both change. While some find refuge in travelling, others indulge in reading or playing video games. However there are some who love to get high on the adrenaline rush. They engage in activities such as extreme sports or action sports to feel the blood pumping through their veins.
Adrenaline junkies are everywhere. We all have that one friend who always wants you to try out different extreme sports with them and just never seems to have enough thrill in their lives. Well if it sounds like you might just be that person, you should try some of these activities… this is adrenaline junkiedom taken to a whole new and insane level. The acrophobia is one of the most insane fears that someone may have. People suffering from this phobia may panic and put others in danger present. The truth is that deep down we all have some of this fear of heights, which causes that butterflies in the stomach, which makes the bag shrink and wrinkle smiley (do not know how it feels related in women) and that gives us an extra dose of adrenaline . Something which causes only view the photos that illustrate this post.
