If you're looking for some wild adventures around the world, you've come to the right place! ![](https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmRWo941ciKrhZAuAoyg6iHoygz8nmwX2GoK8JGbr4XNan/photo_2020-04-21_10-47-14.jpg) When HIVE launched, I was really inspired to write a series about my adventures all over the globe. When I read about the [Engage on HIVE](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@galenkp/posting-initiative-win-a-2000hp-delegation-just-by-writing-a-post-everyone-is-eligible) challenge from @galenkp, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to look back at some of my adventures and also to give all you awesome HIVERS a chance to see what's coming up next! > *“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”* **Mark Twain** Different adventures will appeal to different people, so I've added links so you can go directly to the adventures that interest you most! Feel free to ask questions about any of the adventures that interest you and I'll try to answer as many as I can. # Austria ![](https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmNaUucZtuYJ3WU51PheVzTr73fmsww1WF8ohYKmN37qXH/photo_2020-04-10_13-34-31.jpg) I haven't had much opportunity to experience the snow, since I was born in Africa, so I was really excited for my skiing trip to Austria. I spent two weeks in the tranquil village of Hopfgaarten learning to ski. The first day was a real challenge, but by the end of my stay I was quite comfortable on skis. I fell over into the snow many times, but it's all part of the fun - just get up and try again! ## Paragliding | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmf1EnfKcQjwAScfcp6aAjBkXtUq6NzdMgpgH9FKxZTqJs/photo_2020-04-10_13-34-11.jpg) | [The Takeoff](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-paragliding-austria-part-1) | |--|--| | ![enter image description here](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmSWsDGKkPjRXwQdBnx546JZrdHxhUHDfAA5HbAsXdJuzp/photo_2020-04-10_13-34-25.jpg) | [View from the Sky](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-paragliding-austria-part-2) | ## Skiing | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmV4D6fSjvw7bW5BA6eCuL7Spx7THMCMutWhuDqNd3wFLj/photo_2020-04-12_17-16-35.jpg) | [Learning to Ski](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-skiing-austria-part-1) | |--|--| | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deimus/BFQoq0B2-photo_2020-04-13_09-11-13.jpg) | [Above the Clouds](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-skiing-austria-part-2) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deimus/bvaC08Gz-photo_2020-04-14_11-36-44.jpg) | [The Big Race](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-5-skiing-austria-the-big-race) |

Some of my adventures were part of my training for sailing and SCUBA diving and others were just for fun. ## Rock Climbing | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmRpYdKtbC6gQtezfArjmm13XpyBC3pQWoG3ph8JPA918z/photo_2020-04-15_14-08-27.jpg) | [Above the Waterfall](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-6-sport-climbing-south-africa-above-the-waterfall) | |--|--| | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmTZg6qvLybkMWnCoFjVnTUDmtmrPqdc1Pa2mHLCsTnpKN/photo_2020-04-16_05-54-58.jpg) | [Rock Rally](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-7-rock-climbing-south-africa-rock-rally) | ## Canopy Tour | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmXgUV9V9WrREdzoq4E64GHSG3E8zKvSss8QGJS5LhrPNf/01.jpg) | [Zip Lines over the Valley](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-6-canopy-tour-south-africa-zip-lines-over-the-valley) | |--|--| ## Surfing | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmZUkJ6Q8MyJ64vSx8vzbZa61ZyRDu9P5xMy4Tkjaj8Fbw/photo_2020-04-19_06-29-34.jpg) | [Surf's Up!](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-9-surfing-south-africa-surf-s-up) | |--|--| ## Skydiving | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmQtsn3y8oAf9Pw4mugfpeWWBLp2rZ3qN8hMy92xikcrao/photo_2020-04-20_07-40-40.jpg) | [Into the Air](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-10-skydiving-south-africa-into-the-air) | |--|--| | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmdLNJTXjqryNNJfUzyqL42BTV74zqjQUsr3efEjFLKhE7/photo_2020-04-21_10-47-08.jpg) | [Freefalling!](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-11-skydiving-south-africa-freefalling) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmY25fAkDMKQDeoVgPojQhqqv2NGa8uybwAQyRAcPNdAoB/photo_2020-04-22_07-35-23.jpg) | [Final Approach](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-12-skydiving-south-africa-final-approach) | ## Firefighting School | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmYNjWrULTkrNE3NVMnd2s1JcByERmthkefQoofqGHAPAE/photo_2020-04-24_13-08-45.jpg) | [Extreme Heat](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-13-firefighting-south-africa-extreme-heat) | |--|--| ## Powerboat Qualification | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfYEhRfvM12hjNWfU9SnYoPBAbgFtVxgvY6PLj51Bsnzq/photo_2020-04-25_11-27-48.jpg) | [Cape Town Harbour](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-14-powerboat-south-africa-cape-town-harbour) | |--|--| ## SCUBA | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmSVbaFD8WCvci4hLSEdJUjae2ajYeMHbSr4yYKuwHjEMC/photo_2020-04-27_14-51-05.jpg) | [The World Below](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-15-scuba-south-africa-the-world-below) | |--|--| | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmQofLdgor9HGuG2YdmuFbBPsPqYjxFbXix1GbvjWoR3nM/photo_2020-04-29_15-50-38.jpg) | [Advanced SCUBA Training](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-17-scuba-south-africa-advanced-scuba-training) | ## Waterski | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmdvJGHJa6zXJ8qvHSkxzZ6SjFX7WRcDULSdGbCf8niTT3/photo_2020-04-28_14-58-14.jpg) | [On the Lake](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-16-water-ski-south-africa-on-the-lake) | |--|--| # Cyprus ![](https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmcYNFiSLpbfojLmPpaNi98XJ7LyGMAvumg1GzRJSfcC5J/photo_2020-05-08_10-03-31.jpg) I've lived in Cyprus for a few years and the Mediterranean is an amazing experience by itself. For mother's day, I wanted to do some special posts featuring @pandamama, my mom. Adventures are far better when they are shared with friends and family! I'll be sure share some more Mediterranean adventures soon! ## Parasailing | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmeqKPnU2NKboWrk7UKhP2uVA36dDxVHmkK6HjH93hzgjx/photo_2020-05-08_10-03-20.jpg) | [Parasailing with @pandamama](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-23-parasailing-cyprus-mother-s-day-adventure-featuring-pandamama) | |--|--| ## Jetski | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmZJZ2QcLAVyocYy6kh1N837NJBWNCr8Rx47HUGAFaGDh6/02.jpg) | [Jetski with @pandamama](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-24-jetski-cyprus-mother-s-day-2-featuring-pandamama) | |--|--| # Thailand ![](https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmTruDyYSMiHuHyDHf2ofGTzH6hMWkm9oxTkiDe1f8ychW/05.jpg) Thailand is one of favorite places and I've traveled all over the wonderfully diverse country, from the mountains of Chang Mai in the north, to the exquisite islands in the South. So far I've only written about my sailing adventures, but I have a lot more to share in the future about my adventures in Thailand, like the incredible SCUBA diving experience I had on Koh Tau (Turtle Island). ## Sailing | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmQDDpnitsYKCRaeZvscNbZGonpwKd4EJWq5acqw14Fmxx/photo_2020-04-30_15-02-54.jpg) | [The Ocean Marina](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-18-sailing-thailand-the-ocean-marina) | |--|--| | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmeQNXZVq2Dk8FH2s3KwEybTZLxSNGhaddqjV71GdTS7MM/photo_2020-05-01_16-08-36.jpg) | [Setting Sail](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-19-sailing-thailand-the-ocean-marina) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmcboCaBHJhn9dwPQCTuVxXmnyJf3Hije9M3NbcFHx7mda/00.jpg) | [First Night at Sea](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-20-sailing-thailand-first-night-at-sea) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmbiPJNbvqNLXHwTadpkZYQoV2KHMWubk65xtif49DfYKR/photo_2020-05-06_15-14-27.jpg) | [Life on a Boat](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-21-sailing-thailand-life-on-a-boat) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmc3kTiFdTJMy5XmwPaGjgqYMQ8XQ5bYmQ92oT9KGwknES/00.jpg) | [Hidden Treasures](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-22-sailing-thailand-hidden-treasures) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmVMyecJs6VFefZmw9JKU5FArUBaHRJKJAsMjDBVgwk1TU/01.jpg) | [Sailing Captain Qualification](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-25-sailing-thailand-sailing-captain-qualification) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmQbyVyWYTv9gjK1b43BDomm9be1U1PNjzPUwA1AukcUUe/photo_2020-05-21_13-47-59.jpg) | [New Boat, New Adventure](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-25-sailing-thailand-new-boat-new-adventure) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmSUhQoGeautX8DhkBNCp85fP5Qvp1HrvV3ucDKCz1mLRu/photo_2020-05-23_10-00-44.jpg) | [Thailand Lifestyle](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-27-sailing-thailand-thailand-lifestyle) | | ![](https://images.hive.blog/256x512/https://images.hive.blog/DQmeKgsjGfbNou4egH99bKmX2GeVnzWo4uwT174HoFFoFdQ/photo_2020-05-24_07-19-07.jpg) | [A Land of Vivid Contrast](https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@deimus/adventures-28-sailing-thailand-a-land-of-vivid-contrast) | ## Special Thanks ### [@abh12345](https://peakd.com/@abh12345) - [@tarazkp](https://peakd.com/@tarazkp) - [@meesterboom](https://peakd.com/@meesterboom) - [@galenkp](https://peakd.com/@galenkp)
