"You dive deeper and deeper off the crystal blue shores of Roatan, Honduras and within moments, you’re among a pod of unassuming whale sharks, the largest mammals inhabiting the world below the surface. Perhaps you’re trekking to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, fulfilling a lifelong dream and personal challenge. Or maybe eschewing cars or buses and slowing down the pace of life is what’s important for your vacation, so you join a walking holiday or bike tour in Tuscany. Whatever your speed, it’s about having a transformative experience. After all, adventure is in the eye of the beholder."
