5 Life-changing adventures everyone must try
A life-changing adventure would surely be a welcome experience for anyone, especially if it is your first time doing such a thing. In fact, most of those who have visited a never-been-visited destination feel the journey as something that influenced their perception of the world and their outlooks in life.
5 Life-changing adventures everyone must try
That said, here are some adventures that would surely make an impact on your everyday life:
1. Road Trip around New Zealand
As one of the smallest countries in the world and the only country down south of the globe, you can never expect too much of New Zealand because ultimately it will deliver. The ice-capped, alpine hills and mountains in Queenstown, especially Coronet Peak and Crown Range, are so breath-taking that you have to see them for yourself.
You can also enjoy the night sky over Lake Wanaka where, during some clear nights, you can see galaxies, stars, planets, and the stunning Aurora Australis (the counterpart to Aurora Borealis, likewise known as the southern lights). This and other road trip destinations in this beautiful country would surely make you change the way you see the world.

2. Go on a South African safari
This is no ordinary walk-to-the-zoo tour. South Africa is highly known for its safari zones. There are a lot of national parks and safari destinations scattered around the country. One example is the highly-acclaimed Pilanesberg National Park.
Featuring over 7,000 animals in their protection, the park is a great safari that is not far from the capital city. Other safari zones in the country offer jeep rides and close encounters with the animals that should teach you a valuable lesson on environment conservation and care for animals both wild and tame.
3. Trek through the jungle in Cuba
If you are looking for a more Indiana Jones or Jumanji-like adventure, minus the perils of Jumanji of course, Cuba is a great destination for jungle first-timers, families escapes or frequent jungle trekking adventurers. You can head to Topes de Collantes National Park in Sierra del Escambray where you can find all the dreamy jungle paradise features like crystal-clear pools, breath-taking waterfalls, ancient caves, and even marshes near rushing rivers.
Cuba’s natural attractions, including their jungles, have a lot to teach you about survival and appreciation to the beauty of Mother Earth.
4. Visit Grand Canyon in the USA
Perhaps one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the US, the Grand Canyon in Arizona is not just a stunning view. Many have come to see the first sunrise of the year right here in the canyons and have found tranquillity in taking on the experience. Although it is terribly barren, the nothingness in this place brings so much peace to everyone, especially those who have become too detached from nature.
5. Walk around tea plantations in India
If you think you’re a tea connoisseur, you had better book an unforgettable vacation to South India, right away. As one of the largest tea growers in the world, South India is known for its exquisite chais (tea in India’s language) which are highly variated by their added spices and tea plant horticulture.
Aside from that, their wide plantations offer a magnificent view after making yourself some tea from the leaves you have picked yourself at the farm. The walk would surely calm your nerves and give you a great understanding of how important it is to live peacefully in life. I had a chance to stroll around the plantations in Munnar in Kerala, India, and boy was I amazed!
