We are on a mission to make the world less boring and we want this blog to inspire you to do some incredible adventures and achieve momentous things while you travel .
The blog is the place to find the lowdown on all of the different activities, adventures and destinations that we offer. So if you are unsure as to what you what I do, or where you want to do it there is great background reading here.
Why you should read this blog.
You will discover beautiful islands and crazy places you can even discover why it pays to be polite when you gate crash the odd african wedding.
This is not the kind of stuff you will find on most gap year company websites, but then again, we are not your average gap year company.
We do all the adventures and then some like braving sharks, crocodiles and riots in the Solomon Islands (The Solomons never became an Xtreme destinations by the way, far too dodgy for most, but an amazing destination in our opinion).
We do all this in search of the next thrilling adventure… to make the most of your travels with us.
We try not to take ourselves too seriously here, so you will not find any incredibly practical (read hideously dull and boring) information, if you want that there is a website called the lonely planet.
Here you will just find the golden travel nuggets of information, the stuff you really should know but won’t know until you get out there.
Like how to defend yourself against a horny elephant or the dangers of playing connect 4 with Thai prostitute lady boys, why it’s best to just stay well clear of honey badgers (seriously if one asks you to do something just do it).
Learn about why if you do your Divemaster course you will most likely drink a pint of urine, or worse Thai red Bull before you graduate.
There are travellers stories, and diaries from our own research trips and random adventures to get you in travel mood, and lots of pictures to inspire you to see some of the most amazing places the world has to offer.
Our own brand of travel is all about bottom twitching, exciting moments of exhilaration that really makes the difference between your average holiday at an awesome xtreme adventure, so you might find posts detailing some of the more gnarly adventures out there.
We love to hear from all of our travellers, and prospective travellers so please do feel free to post your Facebook comments in any of the posts, tell us about what you’re looking forward to, what you’ve done what you running away from. We want to hear from you.
We are definitely not a corporate travel company, we are small and all about the experiences and inspired by our love of travel.
You can read up about us, find out about the people behind the adventures and website, and where we have been.
You can also find out more about travellers experiences with some Xtreme Gap reviews and even check us out in the press.
