Hiking at the Brecon Beacons of Wales
I would love to one day go hiking in the Brecon Beacons of Wales in the U.K. It has stunning landscapes and challenging hikes. It is home to some fantastic species of birds such as the Peregrine Falcon and many Red Kites. I think it will be a fascinating place to camp for a few days, and I hear the people of Wales are as friendly as any.
Hike Through Israel National Trail
I would love to hike the 1000 km (620 mi) Israel National Trail (Shvil Yisrael). I love desert hiking and I’m Jewish, so this would be an excellent way to immerse myself in an epic Israeli-flavored adventure. It would be amazing to lead a group there, but I’d also be happy to go it alone.
Africa
Africa has always been one of the continents at the back of my mind as a place that I wanted to visit at least once. While I’ve never been to Africa, my passion for animals and seeing the natural world has always been there. There’s just something about the vast wilderness, the seemingly endless plains, and the animals that roam free that I’ve always wanted to experience for myself.
There are so many African animals – including lions, rhinos, hippos, and elephants – that I need to see for myself. From what I’ve read, there are even more exotic (and dangerous) animals in Africa. I was surprised by that. It makes sense, but it’s still hard to believe.
Lofoten Islands in Norway
At the top of my wishlist for outdoor adventure spots is the Lofoten Islands in Norway. As any photo of this region shows, the scenery alone makes for some truly spectacular sights. Lofoten is also well known for having an unlimited supply of options for hiking, kayaking, climbing, and skiing, depending on the season.
In particular, while many of the hiking and climbing trails are meant to be pretty tough given Norway’s fairly steep mountains, the views are also supposed to be breathtaking. I can’t wait to see them for myself and experience all of the adventures that this part of the world has to offer.

Chiang Mai Rainforest
One adventure spot that is at the top of my bucket list is the Chiang Mai rainforests in Thailand. Thailand has a lot of beautiful sights to see, but the rainforest is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. I’d love the opportunity to enjoy a Flight of the Gibbon adventure package, which includes rock climbing, ziplining through the rainforest canopy, and an overnight stay in a traditional village hut.
