Rather than a traditional list of New Year’s resolutions that usually gets broken in a months’ time, how about creating travel plans with adrenaline-charged adventures this 2017?
Your vacation doesn’t always need to be in the beach, or in a tourist destination with main attractions that draw huge crowds. You can always try something different like bungee jumping, rafting, mountain climbing or walking safaris.
Check out this list of travel destinations to feed your inner thrill seeker self!


Norway
Located in Western Norway, the Preikestolen or also known as The Preacher’s Pulpit, is one of Norway’s main tourists attractions and is popular among thrill-seekers. It stands 604 meters (1,982 ft) above sea level with its plateau at 25 meter squared (82 feet). Unless you are experienced in base jumping, you might want to settle with standing on top of its flat squareor peering over the cliff which is enough to give you a spine-tingling experience.

In case of a long flight and happen to have a stopover in Abu Dhabi, maybe you can swing down at Ferrari Worldand ride the world’s fastest roller coaster – the Formula Rossa. This world-breaking ride speeds up to 240 km/h simulating the rush of what it’s like to drive a Ferrari F1 racer. Prepare to have your skin pulled back on your face!

Spain
If you want to try something “wild”in Europe, how about joining the bull run in Pamplona, Spain during the fiesta of Saint Fermín? Taking part in the festival is no joke as there had been a lot of casualties over the years. You can also climb the Caminito del Rey, Spain’s most terrifying mountain path. Its steep walls are pinned near the El Chorro village and is over 100 years old and 350 ft. high. Its path of missing sections and holes is surely not for the faint-hearted!
