Well, I'm a college freshman. I've lived in the same town for 18 years, went to the same school from K-12, have always lived at home, and I guess I'm a little stir-crazy. I wanna have an adventure. I might be going to Mexico this summer (I've never been outside of the US, either) on a missions trip, so that could be fun. What are some really adventurous things I could do? I've always wanted to backpack Europe or the Middle East. What have you guys done for adventure?

All I need now is my hat, leather jacket, whip, and 6-shooter and I'm set!

You could visit Australia and stay with Dug. No guarantees that he won't get you drunk and take advantage of you though :p

Here is a sample schedule of your mid east trip:

First we will hit up Afganastan, it is LOVELY this time of year. Most of the terrorists have quited down there so wear all of your "I LOVE THE USA" Tshirts here.

Next stop will be Iraq. We have liberated these people and they are so happy so make sure you tell anyone you see how they should be thankful and that you are an American.

At this point if you still have all your arms and legs and head you will head over to northern Isrial. This one will be probaly the most adventurous yet. Here you will spend most of your time dodging rockets and playing hide and seek amongst the rubble. As a side trip you will go to lovely Pakistan. They love Isralies more than Americans so tell everyone there how much you love your country (Isreal).

You will probaly love this trip so much that you wont want to come home (Read as: YOURE A DEAD MOFO THE SECOND YOU STEP OFF THE PLANE) So dont bother booking a return flight. You can always book one if you ever decide to come back anyway.

Enjoy!

What country in the middle east isn't dangerous? Maybe Egypt and Turkey are pretty safe, but they're both on the fringe of the middle east. Egypt is mostly in Africa and Turkey is partially in Europe.

Egypt loves its tourism money too much to leave it dangerous for tourists.

Qatr, Dubai would be fine and many gulf countries would be fine...shouldn't have a problem in Kuwait or North Africa...and Turkey is Middle East to some people...

Certainly you can't "backpack" across, but there are still places you can safely visit.
