Some of us would rather go on an adventure than laze around on a beach, gulp hundreds of liters of alcohol, dance in a night club till we drop dead or even watch a movie.

10. Zorbing in Rotarua, New Zealand
A zorb is a large ball where one gets inside and run down a slope. Trust me; this is a new sport that is yet to catch on, but it is well worth your consideration.
These destinations are enough to keep your heart beating fast enough and your gut recoiling at the danger you are willing to put yourself into in order to experience the 'thrill'. I do not blame you, I also love it...and it is safer than using drugs, right?
