Let's talk about adventure travel and the thrill of taking risks. I'm curious to hear how you feel about it!

“When you travel, do you prefer safe, relaxing trips or something that gets your heart racing?”

“Have you ever done something on a trip that felt a bit dangerous or reckless? How did it go?”

“Imagine you could join any expedition in the world tomorrow — where would you go and why?”

“Do you think the adrenaline rush from risky activities is worth the danger involved?”

“What's one place you'd love to venture into, even if friends told you it was treacherous?”
