Adrenaline Junkie
Adrenaline is a stress hormone secreted from the adrenal glands on the kidneys. Whenever you perceive something threatening or exciting your brain sends a signal to produce adrenaline. It pretty much gets the body ready for “fight or flight” response. Most people experience energy boost, rapid breathing, sweating, increased heart rate, no feeling of pain and increase in strength. There are some people out there who just can’t get enough of this natural high. If you consider yourself an “Adrenaline Junkie” here are the 15 top adrenaline rush activities you can experience:
1. The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The average speed of the herd is 15 mph so you better make sure you run faster.
2. Great white shark cage diving in Cape Town, South Africa. Keep all your limbs inside of the cage.
3. The “Cage of Death” in Australia. You are up close and in the middle of the world’s biggest saltwater crocodiles just behind two inches of glass.

Dude talk about super epic! Definitely going on my bucket list! This shit looks crazy but a lot of fun for sure! Hey you only live once so wth live it to the fullest. Great post.
I am an adrenaline junk and will try all of these given the chance. These are one in a life time experiences something to tell your grandkids. Why wouldn’t you do it?
This is all pretty insane the chance of you having an accident is too high. I wouldn’t do any of that. I travel to relax lol
Lol no thanks. I like the fact that I am alive and don’t want to change that.
Gotta add Big Wave riding to this list. Once u slide down into the wave you can’t just call time out if you don’t like the way things are going
I always wanted to do the shark cage. that’s on my bucket list. too much of a shark week fan.
Yea the shark cage looks super epic dude it’s on my bucket list too.
