went to the states by myself in 2010 for a few weeks, bus tour of a bunch of different states on the West coast, best holiday ever.

Canaries with the lads. /Thread.

Spent a few weeks working in a school in the kwazulu natal province in south africa. It was eye opening to say the least. You hear a lot in the irish media about irish families in poverty recently due the recession/gov cuts and it makes me sick. Nobody in this country bar the homeless know true poverty.

Euro 2012.

Started 'that' rendition of Fields of Athenry.

You're all welcome.

Inca Trail to Machu Pichu and tour of Peru.
Amazon, Cusco, Lima, Lake Titicaca
Followed by The Galapagos on board a boat that island hopped to all the best snorkelling and animal viewing spots.
Saw Lonesome George before he died.
Super trip.

Parachuting maybe?
Dirt bikes jumping over stuff in the woods?
Magic mushrooms?
I don't know - I haven't done much.

dodderangler · 26-10-2012 12:39AM

Leprechaun hunt
Never did catch the little bugger >:(

I do falconry I think it's awesome and is always an adventure

Served in 3 different conflict zones.

Got lost in the lingerie section of Dunnes Stores with a few priests.

Sauve · 26-10-2012 12:42AM

I'm going to Rossinver tomorrow.
Beat that.

Smoked some salvia crushed up with DMT crystals before. An experience. Can still remember whole conversations I apparently had with the lads my brain created from when we didn't (obviously, because they don't actually exist) grew up together, word for word like. So... there's that.

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 26-10-2012 12:45AM

Oh, I got a really, really, really, really red Monster Munch back in the early 90's, before they made them sh1t.

That was awesome, truely was!

Put the bins out last thurday. Fell on the way back.

Epic trip!!

Japer · 26-10-2012 12:56AM

went to funderland.

walked down O'Connel street after midnight one night. What a risky adventure.

iamstop · 26-10-2012 01:03AM

Best thing I ever did was a trek through Taman Nagara in Malaysia.
It's the oldest rainforest in the world. Never been affected by floods, glaciers, volcanoes etc. The wild live there is just awesome. In some places the termites are so dense you can hear them crunching in unison.
Big ants, saw a flying fox flying, wild hog running wild, crazy ants all over the hut, massive centipedes, large variety of fungus, lizards and other reptiles.

Nearly got lost and it was starting to get dark, just near the end the leaches woke up, luckily I only got attacked by 1 but I managed to get it off.

After I got out of the jungle and into a clearing I hear a load of screams. Seems I just woke up the slumbering leeches and they went full scale on the poor group of people who were just behind me by about 20 minutes. They came out with blood all down their legs.

TheBegotten · 26-10-2012 01:03AM

I had fun once. It was awful. :eek:

Seriously though, the youth should be allowed more freedom. Whenever my Dad tells me a story from his teenage years, there's always a crucial freedom he had that we don't. I mean, what 16/17 year old is too irresponsible to book themselves into a YOUTH HOSTEL?!?

Also, the legal age of consent is too high. That should toss the fox amongst the chickens.

Just back from the Galapagos myself. Snorkelling + seal lions was pretty fab when they go blasting past you.

Here is a link to some of my pics from Malaysia:

Cycled from France to Accra Ghana.

Although another boardsie has cycled from Ireland across to SE Asia so I'm just a beginner by comparison.

Cupcake_Crisis · 26-10-2012 01:41AM

Did a sky dive for charity, was phenomenal!

LizT · 26-10-2012 01:49AM

Road trip from NY to LA.

nice_very · 26-10-2012 02:21AM

something I think was pretty cool, was, I was bought a pint by a very famous Basque spanish rock guy, while watching the 2008 all Ireland final in a bar in the Basque Country and explaining hurling to him, he also told me how much he admired the Irish, spoke a bit with him about his music, very cool guy... of course I ended up dancing with Brazilian women I could barely understand later that night in a bar in the same town......

Spent the whole night in a hotel in Slovakia trying to check in, in a ManKini, and still got a breakfast

probably over a hundred lads telling the same story.

now if you got the crowd singing the breakfast roll song at the euros you could be somewhat confident in your claim to fame.
