Dunn's River Falls

It all depends on who you are and what you have done before to consider something adventurous. Not everyone have the same definition of what an adventure is. So, in this post, I will give my definition of an adventure plus talk about an adventure that I have been on, plus who will consider this an adventure and who won’t.

Adventure is defined in The Random House Dictionary as, an undertaking involving risk or excitement. I personally agree with this definition of adventure, but I also believe that it is a remarkable experience. An adventure should be something that challenges you. It should take you out of your comfort zone. Everyone is not going to like the adventure that they take, but at the end of the day, that’s what makes it a great adventure. You may not like it at the beginning, but you will probably like it once you have completed it.

Not everyone will agree with my definition of adventure, because everyone has their own personal views on what is considered adventurous. I’ve been to numerous places that I would consider an adventure, but I will only talk about one in this post.

A lot of people are not familiar with Dunn’s River Falls. So, for everyone who isn’t familiar with it, it is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Dunn’s River consists of a lot of rocks. So, you can already picture how risky such a place could be. If you slip and fall, you could hurt yourself pretty badly.

I consider Dunn’s River to be an adventure for me because, it is risky and it took me way out of my comfort zone.  I walk a lot, but before that day, I have never climbed up rocks before while water is consistently flowing.

The hardest part of climbing up these rocks is failure. Everyone who starts this journey would love to make it to the top, but it is very easy to quit. This is mainly because of how dangerous climbing up these wet rocks can get, plus it is very challenging.

Not everyone would consider this an adventure, mainly because it’s probably not risky enough for them or maybe because they have done something similar.  Others would consider this a great adventure because of the level of difficultly. Plus they would want to know what’s at the top of all these rocks.

If someone is use to climbing rocks with little water present they would not consider this adventurous, even though there is more water climbing up the rocks of Dunn’s River Falls. But, someone who has never climbed up rocks with water present would consider this an adventure.

So, this brings me back to my point when I said that it all depends on who you are, because one person might consider this pretty adventurous while someone else may not.
