ADVENTURE

An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience; it may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome. Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as skydiving, mountain climbing  or participating in extreme sports . The term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical, financial or psychological risk, such as a business venture, a love affair, or other major life undertakings.
Adventurous experiences create psychological and physiological arousal , which can be interpreted as negative  or positive , and which can be detrimental as stated by the Yerkes- Dodson law .
Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation or excitement   examples are adventure racing   and adventure tourism .   Adventurous activities can also lead to gains in knowledge, such as those undertaken by explorers and pioneers. Adventure education   intentionally uses challenging experiences for learning .
