For those adventure seeking types and adrenaline junkies -

"Brain scientists discover why adventure feels good"

LONDON (Reuters)

"Scientists believe the existence of this age-old reward mechanism indicates there is an evolutionary advantage in sampling the unknown.

"Seeking new and unfamiliar experiences is a fundamental behavioral tendency in humans and animals. It makes sense to try new options as they may prove advantageous in the long run," said Bianca Wittmann of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London."

Vendaval I drive in Washington D.C. on the beltway, I have no need to bungee
jump or sky dive!

Daily life can be one big adventure, it depends on how you live it!
Oh my life!
