Anyone who travels will, at least once, find themselves doing something that they’d not normally do at home. What’s… the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Ben Groundwater kicks it off nicely with some jungle action. The comment thread in the story below is a little thin… so far.
“Those guns,” I said to nearest guide, pointing at the AK-47 slung across his chest, “they’re not for the gorillas are they?”
The guide laughed. “For the gorillas? No. These are for the guerrillas.”
Among my craziest:
- Hectic and terrifying bar brawl on Santorini… apparently it was not tourist season yet.
- Jumped onto a moving train in northern Germany
- Taught myself to ride a moto in Thailand… on dirt roads, in flip-flops (never, never, never try this- now that I have learned to ride properly, I look back on this one and shudder)
- Amsterdam, New Year’s 1999-2000. Do the math.
- Some others that I don’t discuss in public.
