Test Your Limits: 6 Challenging Adventures around the World
If you're ready to up your game on your next adventure, we've got you covered.
There's great value in finding adventure in your own backyard and we're big supporters of all of you weekend warriors out there that find a way to get outside regularly, even if it's just down to your local park. While a steady supply of adventures like this are what keep us happy on a day-to-day basis, we also love to find ways to push ourselves and get out of our comfort zone from time to time. We find that setting aside time for a BIG adventure once in a while is always worthwhile.
There's a special feeling you have when you take on a challenging adventure, one that you maybe never thought you could accomplish. The anticipation of the adventure ahead, the physical and mental exhaustion during the trip, and most importantly, the feeling of growth and empowerment that you have when you look back on the incredible feat you've just completed.
Depending on your skillset and experience, pulling off an adventure like this solo can be difficult. Luckily, our friends at World Expeditions have a team of expert guides that can help you push your limits and discover amazing parts of the world. Check out some of their more challenging and exciting adventures around the world below and make plans to get out of your comfort zone this year!
