GO THRILLS:From sea-kayaking in Mexico to ranching in the Wild West, CATHERINE MACKhas 10 great activity holidays for women who want to try something different
HAVING AN adventure on holiday is such a subjective notion. The skydivers who made the first parachute jump over Mount Everest spent 15 years planning – and almost €17,000 each to get their kicks. I am a bit less extreme. My first big travel adventure was in my early 20s, when I went backpacking alone to Australia and had the time of my life. Just discovering the joys of solitude was an adventure in itself. And I didn’t even go near a bungee rope. Rainforests yes, shark-cage diving, no thanks.
