| | | | | | 02/09/14 Wild Things Horses, Crocodiles and Bungee Jumping We’ve got nothing against dinner dates. Or movie nights. Or couples pottery classes (well, maybe). It’s just that spicing up a relationship requires a bit more... creativity. So here are five ideas that’ll get your significant (or significant-ish) other’s adrenaline pumping. Because you don’t really know someone until you’ve heli-bungeed together. | | | | | CROC POT | Diving with Crocodiles in Botswana | | The Challenge: Swimming face-to-jaws with a bunch of massive African crocodiles in their natural habitat. So just make sure you can outswim your companion. The Risk: That they haven’t had lunch yet. The Reward: Après-diving in a secluded waterfront chalet. Also, not having your face eaten. | | | | | | | | POLE POSITION | Skydiving at the North Pole | | The Challenge: It’s twofold, actually. First: you need to jump from a Russian aircraft several thousand feet above the North Pole. Second: you need to land in one piece. The Risk: Aside from a parachute malfunction, just Arctic winds and subzero temperatures. The Reward: Bragging rights; possibly a Santa Claus sighting. | | | | | | | | NULL AND VOID | A Terrifying Lookout in Switzerland | | The Challenge: Standing in a glass box suspended 12,600 feet in the air, at the top of Mont-Blanc. The Risk: Discovering the meaning of vertigo. The Reward: A table for two at the highest restaurant in Europe, right next door. And it’s a safe bet the beer is cold. | | | | | | | | BUNGEE WHIZ | Heli-Bungee-Jumping over a Volcano | | The Challenge: Bungee jumping. From a helicopter. Suspended over an active volcano in Chile. The Risk: Well, it’s hot. Like 1,000-degrees hot. The Reward: If your co-jumper can make it through this: keeper. If not: honestly, maybe cut them some slack... | | | | | | | | HORSING AROUND | Horse Surfing. (Yep, Horse Surfing.) | | The Challenge: Mounting a horse and riding it bodysurfer-style into some six-foot waves on an Australian beach. The Risk: None, really. Unless you’re allergic to horses or something. The Reward: A nice, long sunset ride on a secluded seven-mile beach. Bonus: horses are great at keeping secrets. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 900 Broadway, Suite 808 New York, NY 10003 © 2014 UrbanDaddy. All Rights Reserved. | | | | | | |
