So after my first indoor rock climbing experience today I asked myself why I have never gone before (the excuse that I am scared of heights is no longer valid). Then I wondered why many of the things I have done so far in NZ I have never been interested in before.
Growing up I was so into soccer and running that I never craved the adrenaline rush of extreme sports (assuming that to me rock climbing is extreme). In college and afterwards I simply didn't hang out with many people who were into other activities.
However, now that I am here, in the extreme sports capital of the world, I am on a mission to cross off as many activities that I have never considered before or have been to scared to think about as possible. Hence, my NZ Bucket List below. The activities in bold are the ones I have crossed off!!
1. Scuba diving
2. Hot air ballooning
3. ATVing
4. River rafting (more than the average family vacation stuff)
5. Spelunking (cave exploring - commercialized)
6. Spelunking (non-commercialized)
7. Zorbing (rolling downhill in a huge beach ball filled with hot water)
8. Jetboating
9. Indoor rock climbing
10. Glacier hiking
11. Salsa dancing
12. Swimming with dolphins
13. Skydiving
14. Abseiling (rappelling)
