Who wants an Adventure

Bajingo

I'm up for adventure and mischief, will someone be able to spot me until next week though?

An adventure isn't fun while it's happening.

We'll need to invite a good editor to make it more exciting on film when we look back on it.

Alcohol ?

Bucket list - keep meaning to write one of those but adventuring keeps getting in the way:(

This is on a much much lower scale but as a fun first date I took a girl on a mini adventure. In one afternoon/evening we went to:

- The Oldest Pub in Ireland The Brazen Head
- The Highest Pub in Ireland Johnny Foxes
- The Longest Pub in Ireland The Hole in the Wall.

It was something different from the usual first date I thought

I vote we organise a boards adventure.

It can be like a '10.15 to Nutley' type thing...we all get bus tickets to some place pulled outta a hat (like Lisdoonvarna), meet in Bus Aras and head off for the night. Flippantly bidding adieu to the lives we knew before, and returning from our one-night of shenanigans as changed people!!

So it's like a boards beers but in a ****e location?

Exactly. But maybe with tents. And a tin whistle.

And bring tents so that we can set up camp somewhere and party like mad gits!

EDIT: Feck ya Raminahobbin you got in there before me.

I have always wanted an "adventure" of working in a refugee camp or with street kids in some of the poorest places in the world. I had signed up to go work in Bosnia during the war but found out I was pregnant with my eldest so had to scrap that but now as my youngest has only a few years left of education I am thinking again that I can go do something like that.

Failing that I want to buy a camper van and just travel around the world working at any jobs to bring in enough money to live and move on when am bored. Hoping to take my youngest to live somewhere for at least a year instead of him doing transition year as a mini adventure.

It's not really "funny" at all though, is it? Or even odd...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Anyway, I would love to travel down the west coast of Ireland, camping out everywhere and going to a different pub every night meeting the locals just enjoying the atmosphere. Of course having a festival on in the town would help. During the day explore the beaches and mountains, go swimming in lakes etc. I done a lot of day-trips around the North West last summer and I have to say it was one of the better experiences I have had. Visited Waterfalls, Castles, Sea cliffs, old historic forts, beaches, lakes, winding mountain passes and little villages. Twas amazing.

After that, I dunno where I would want to go. Maybe Alaska or Canada somewhere. Out of the way of the usual traps that seem to catch the Irish whenever they go abroad.

I think everyone in the country should be allowed 3 months off sometime in their lifetime to have an adventure.

Your loss then. Plenty of adventuring to be had across Australia.

I spent a bit of time in refugee camps in the Sahara, well worth the experience if you have the chance.

So who of ye want to break free from the mundanity of life, and have an adventure. For those of use who watch a lot of movies or read a lot of literature, do you want to just have one adventure in your life that could be compared to something you've read or seen on the big screen...

Live go to a far away land, fall in love.
Have one amazing day, were you do everything you've wanted to do a kin to Ferris Bueller.
Or have a live experience like any one of John Hughes movies.

This came to mind when I was watching "Jeff, Who Lives At Home", in combination with trying to figure out what I want in live.

I'm currently single, broke and unemployed with a worthless college degree, don't particulary want to go back to college, or work in dunnes/tesco stacking shelves or work 60 hour weeks...I seem to know what I don't want, but for what I want...

So who wants an adventure, or whom of you have had an adventure you'd like to share...

I know this is AH's so I'm expecting some fairly epic adventures:D

If you have a degree and stuck in a bit of a rut. Here's some advice my friend. Do a pretty decent tefl course, start researching teaching jobs in Asia and all the things that come with living there. Save what ever you can and just go and you will get that adventure you are looking for!

Just think in a few months you'll be living like a king and doing a fun job with good money and not working that many hours for it.

Don't worry about flights as most schools pay that. If you go Korea they'll pay flights and accommodation and a pretty decent wage. Any questions just ask.


If my idea is a crappy one to you may I suggest taking acid and go live in Disneyland for a few hours.

Tic toc tic toc time is running out!

Good luck

The Radiator

I would like an adventure

Jesus Wept

I will join you on your adventure OP.

Don't those TEFL course cost a fortune?

You can do a crap one for half of nothing. And even a good one would cost less than your trip to Canada.

I remember looking into a few years back and remember seeing one for €1,500.

Haven't looked in a while now, on the phone at the mo so I'll wait till I'm back on the laptop to do a search

Some do and some dont maybe a couple of hundred. You don't really even need it in most places its just so you have some idea going into the classroom. You could probably find stuff on YouTube. I didn't do one because after 3 or 4 weeks you do be flying anyway so it's not major. It's just handy to have and might get you a bit of extra pay!

It was something similar to the usual last date, I'd say.

I'd love to cycle across a country. Maybe Italy or Austria. That'd be cool, I think. Should only take a week or so. More if you stopped off to enjoy it. On second thought, enjoying it would be the more enjoyable option.
