7 Adventurous Activities Every Solo Female Should Try Out
There are a few things that no matter at what age you are, as a woman you should definitely try out these few things!
Even though you are busy or caught up with your schedule, it is always necessary to take out some me-time for yourself as a little quality time is all that you need!
So without much ado, let’s plunge into the list of all the activities that you need to do in your lifetime.
#1: Hiking
The best thing to do alone is hiking. All you gotta do is pack your travel essentials, and you are good to go!
Also, this activity will not only channelize your energy in a positive way but is also a very safe activity if you follow a certain set of rules. These include:
Know Your Route
You should be well aware of the route that you are planning to go on a hike for as this will make sure that you don’t lose your way while hiking.
Also, it is an important thing to make some landmarks so that if ever you lose your way, you can find a way out by making use of them.
Moreover, also consider the difficulty level. If you are an amateur, you might want to start with an easier hike rather than pushing your body to do something that will lessen your fun.
Learn To Read A Map
This is one of the essential requirements that no matter what you have to fulfill!
You need to be able to read a map and follow a compass as this will help you out throughout your hike and let you reach your destination without any hassle.
Even if you like to wander around, you still need to know where you are on the map.
Share Your Information
Always let a few people know your hiking plans so that in case you go missing, they will be able to track you down.
If you are hiking in a foreign place, it is always a good idea to leave your information that has your contact details and your specific route and your family member’s contact details.
Get Your Body Ready For Hike
You cannot just wake up one day and decide that you want to go for a hike. You need to get your body ready for the hike. I recommend that you walk for at least an hour for a week before you go for your hike.
#2: Sky Diving
Sky Diving is that one thing that most of us might have imagined ourselves doing. The thrill and the adrenaline rush that you will experience are unbeatable.
There are multiple studies that have shown that sky-diving releases dopamine which is closely related to the feeling of satisfaction and reward mechanism.
Even after you are done with the activity, you will be in a happy state of mind for a long time as dopamine will improve your mood significantly!
Moreover, this activity doesn’t even require any pre-planning, except for booking a slot for yourself.
One thing that you need to keep in mind is the weather condition on the day when you plan to do this, as bad weather may cause a significant hindrance to your plans.
#3: Bungee Jumping
Bungee Jumping is known for the thrill that it offers. It is an undeniable fact that it requires a lot of courage to do bungee jumping but this is by far the most loved activity.
Although immediately bungee jumping you might feel a bit dizzy, it lasts only for a few moments. A lot of precautions are taken for this activity to mitigate any risks of injury that can occur.
Just like skydiving, this activity is also safe and requires zero preparation from your side.
However, if you are suffering from blood pressure or have a heart condition, it is advisable not to perform this activity.
#4: Camping
If you want to take a break from your routine and want to spend some time alone, camping is the best activity that you can do to relax your mind and body.
Here are a few tips that will help you get that perfect camping experience.
Location
Always choose a location that you are comfortable with. Do not camp in a place that you are completely unaware of.
It is better if you go and have a check of the place that you have decided to go to. And, if it is not possible then once you reach your camping spot make sure that you are comfortable there.
If at all you feel that you are not confident about the surroundings, you should find another location.
Interact with New People
If you are in a new place, you should probably let yourself lose and learn about the people around you and interact with them.
We are sure that you will get to learn a lot about the new place and at the same time, it will make you more happy and excited about your trip.
Explore
The best way to enjoy your trip is to explore as much as you can. You will get amazed by the number of new spots that you will come across by just simply roaming around.
Avoid going to your regular spots and find a new place every time as it will make each of your trips memorable.
#5: River Rafting
If you are a water baby, river rafting is a must-have on your bucket list! This adventure will not only give you a thrilling experience but will reduce your stress!
Although learning a new skill is a difficult task, you can always learn it at your own pace. You can also join a group that has proper instructors to help you out if you are new to this activity.
River rafting can also boost your confidence. This is because if you go for a more difficult level, you will have a sense of accomplishment no matter how intimidating it might have felt initially!
This outdoor activity will freshen you up a lot, which is what we all are aiming for nowadays.
#6: Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing might sound a little intimidating at first because of the amount of equipment that is being used in this sport. But, this activity is what every adventurous woman would want to try out!
A lot of people feel that only professional people can do rock climbing. However, that’s not the case as there are different difficulty levels. Also, each one of us could choose the level that suits our physique.
If you have a fear of heights, then this activity can help you challenge your inner fear and give you the adrenaline rush that you have been looking for!
A lot of females are into rock climbing and they have a few tips which might be useful for you as well.
Climb Quietly
Climbing quietly will save up a lot of energy and would even let you focus more on the steps that you are taking or planning to take.
The main requirement of this activity is the amount of concentration and precision that you have to put into it.
Let Your Hips Decide The Direction
Well, like hips don’t lie and so, in this activity, you should let them decide the direction!
For this, you need to keep your hip as close as possible to the rock as this will shift a lot of weight and hence will take less effort.
Climb With Light Touch
Try to climb with a lighter touch. This might seem a little difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you will realize that it is making your task a lot easier.
You will realize that you are able to continue your climb for a longer time and without getting so pumped.
#7: Stargazing
As cheesy as it sounds, stargazing is something no human can resist!
I mean, imagine laying underneath a sky full of stars and having no worries at the back of your mind. Doesn’t that sound really amazing?
However, if you’re planning to stargaze, it’s essential to look out for the best stargazing locations around you. Make sure that you look for the ones that are located away from civilization.
Also, I recommend joining a stargazing trip as it’d definitely be safer with a group of people instead of going individually. But, if you have chosen a safe location, this shouldn’t be an issue!
Final Thoughts
All in all, it is not about the activity that you choose to do but the fact that you are doing something to get yourself out of your mundane lifestyle.
Wandering and being out in nature is the best way to improve your health. Doing something new will also help you develop new skills.
Moreover, if you travel solo, you will also get a chance to interact and meet new people, which will help you develop!
That is why I recommend that all my girl pals should go on a solo trip once in a while so that they could deal with all the hurdles with a fresh mindset!
