#JSETT Twitter Chat Recap: Adventure Travel

How adventurous are you? That was the topic of our latest Twitter chat, and we loved getting your thoughts! While some are perfectly fine keeping their travels on solid ground, others are always on the lookout for a way to reach new heights—or depths. One thing’s for sure: When you travel to new places and step out of your comfort zone, adventure will find you.
Check out our favorite responses below:
Q1: Do you seek adventure in your travels? Or do you prefer to let it find you?
A1. I like to find adventure – if it finds me it’s always a bit more fun and often crazy though. #JSETT

Q2: How adventurous have you been? Do you have an adventure threshold?
@JSETTchat A2. Pretty much anything goes as long as I am on the ground or on the water – I won’t jump off anything. #JSETT

A2 I guess zip lining and bobsledding are considered adventurous. I do have a threshold. No bungy @JSETTchat #JSETT #AdventureTravel

A2 #JSETT – Adventurous is so relative. My threshold varies – especially as I get older and have more of a self-preservation desire.

Q4: Do you have any fears that hold you back from extreme adventure activities?
A4: I’m not a fan of heights, so anything involving that won’t see me participate. #JSETT
— Shane Dallas (@TheTravelCamel) April 2, 2015
A4: There’s always that thought “I don’t think I can do this”. Baby steps and you’ll get there! #JSETT
— Discover Croatia (@Discover_Cro) April 2, 2015
A4. Some fears hold me back from extreme adventure – I need to be functioning for family, kind o’like having proper moving parts too. #JSETT
— Elaine J Masters (@tripwellness) April 2, 2015
A4: Traveling as a family I fear long queues and running out of snacks! Any adventure is possible with enough snacks in your bag #JSETT
