I do my best to live with a ”never say no!” mentality, choosing experience over everything else as often as possible. I’ve racked up many memorable moments over the years!
Here’s a round up of some extreme times thus far – some pure fun, some plain crazy!
Can’t find a pic of this but I also went paint balling (in 2019) during an infamous AJ Hackett Cairns Christmas party. I’m glad I took part but I wouldn’t be keen to do so again. Getting chased around by loaded paintball guns scared me more than anything which seems pretty silly when I think about it now, lol. I did one round and tapped out – leave guns to the boys I say!
Everything else on this list I loved getting stuck into!
There are so many wild and wacky offerings out there to try! Check out my snaps and find details of where I did these epic things below:

Places to go get things DONE!:
AJ Hackett Cairns – Australia’s ONLY bungy jump site. Check out the Jungle Swing too!
Let’s go Surfing – Surf Bondi Beach. You can join a group or book individual lessons. Live the dream!
Taupo Tandem Skydiving – Tick off one of the most beautiful extreme sport experiences. The world looks unreal during that free fall! I cried happy tears during my first skydive – it was THAT good!
My fave Scuba Diving experiences happened in Port Douglas on Poseidon – ask about doing a ‘Drift dive’ if possible. The boat I kept wanting to get back on asap in Cairns was Passions of Paradise – such a special day out. Visiting the Great Barrier Reef is something every human should add to their bucket list.
When in Queenstown; visiting the Nevis playground is an absolute deadset need-to-do! The Nevis is the biggest Bungy of that side of the world AND the Swing is the most famous in the universe!
Hope this post inspires you to get out and make some crazy memories when possible!
