Testing our Aerial Course Limits

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Lesley | 1 Comments

I live for adventure. If I could wake up every day and jump out of a plane or off of a building or climb a mountain, it would be my idea of Utopia. One of the most rewarding things about moving to a new location is finding great adventures in the area. Last weekend, we tested our aerial course limits…

Freediving 66 Feet Under the Ocean

Posted on June 7, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 2 Comments

Ever since I learned how to breath underwater with SCUBA, freediving was almost immediately next on my bucket list. Despite almost three years of diving, I’ve never had the time, or perhaps courage, to try it properly. However, thankfully with a little push from Desert Divers Dahab, I’m officially an AIDA free diver. Freediving might take place under water but it’s…

Winter Mammoth Bucket List

Mammoth Lakes is majestic in a way that I didn’t even know possible. The natural beauty is grand and the name speaks to the size of the mountains, the expanse of the valleys, and the endless opportunities for adventure. I created a winter Mammoth bucket list with the greatest snowy experiences in the area. Regardless if you’re traveling with your…

Free Falling Byron Bay with Skydive Australia

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Peter Bateman | 16 Comments

My typical idea of adventure is something like climbing a mountain, hiking into a jungle, or sailing to a deserted island. It’s about the journey and for a while I have kind of associated a “good” adventure with something that takes time and patience to achieve. Man, was I wrong! I just landed safely back on Earth after the team at…

Doors Off Adventure with Makani Kai Helicopters

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Lesley | 28 Comments

I love being in the air. In my previous life, I must have been a bird. There is nothing that brings me more joy than soaring through the air with the wind on my face. It’s what draws me to skydiving. I still get that nervous feeling before leaving the plane but once I’m out the door and there is…

Bucket List Adventures in Mauritius

Posted on September 23, 2016 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Most bucket list seekers are keen to discover more about vacation destinations beyond the resort. I’m always looking for adrenaline-filled ways to increasingly go beyond my comfort zone. When I think about Mauritius, I imagine calming blue waters and luxury at its finest, but its coastline and interior is ripe for exploration and adventure. Water sport is very popular on…

It included skydiving and a jeep tour in the mountains flanked by beautiful artistic expression at the Pageant of the Masters and sailing along the…

Exotics Racing at Auto Club Speedway

Posted on April 11, 2016 by Lesley | 22 Comments

Exotics Racing at Auto Club Speedway gave me all the adrenaline of racing an exotic supercar without the hefty price tag of buying the car, paying for replacement tires or fuel, or worrying about excessive insurance. I took an Audi R8 for five laps around the world’s only race track specifically designed for exotic cars and I never felt more…

9,100 feet of ziplines, 7 different monster zips, an hour hike uphill, and no escape route make the Monster course at Skull Canyon Ziplines one hell of an adventure. I’ve been testing out a number of adventures in southern California lately. My latest Skull Canyon Ziplines adventure was yesterday in Skull Canyon near Corona, California. I’ve been ziplining a number of…
