If you could take an adventure anywhere...

[banzai]

And I do mean anywhere (time and space are fair game!) where would it be?

[ShaiGar]

Gotham city during No Mans Land.
Alexandria 1 week before the burning of the library. (to ship them to a vault)

[Paul V]

My novel's world, any time. I want to be able to use magic! :(

[deicruxified]

hmm... an aes sedai black ajah before the breaking of the world?

[Hdier]

Valdemar, starting just before King Randale became heir.

[Nomad]

Space walk, that's easy. I'd like to take a good long look at Jesus, if only to have personal information to settle the debate for myself.The figure of Jesus has had tremendous impact. four instants after the Big Bang.The temple at Eleusis in it's heyday. There are more...

-Nomad

[INTJoe]

1850 Ellis Island, NYC to meet my Irish ancestors and thank them for taking "the leap" across the pond.

Maybe give them a potato for their efforts. And a brewski.

[OneBadMother]

I'd like to look at some ancient civilization, like the Greeks or the Celts. Invisibly, of course. It would be pretty neat to see, though I guess I'd still have to get a Babelfish to understand what they were talking about. If I could go completely incognito I would go for that too.

[drek996]

If i could go anyway, then i would go everywhere, span the entire universe leaving no place unseen...

and in real life I just want to travel the world and ride every really awesome road and race track on a v-twin :)

[The Rose]

I would want to find tropical waterfalls where there are no other people around.

[HarleyQuinn]

Hmm...

1: Stalking Bram Stoker while he writes "Dracula" just for the ability to see his step by step process of creativity to finished product.

2: Stalking Virginia Woolf as she writes "Mrs. Dalloway" and "Orlando" would be fun given how influential she is at my college. I think out of the past three years in terms of capstone papers in the English department, there have been about six to seven papers written/presented on her in total. Two more students in my current capstone group are also writing about her.

[The Rose]

and in real life I just want to travel the world and ride every really awesome road and race track on a v-twin :)In that case, I would go to heaven.

[prometheus]

Lexington Mass. April 19 1775

July 3 1794, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania

16 February 1848, Wednesday; 7:00 p.m. Concord Mass. Concord Lyceum. To hear the birth of Thoreau's best essay.

[einnelsate]

Nuuk(Greenland), Antarctica. Cremona, Italy, because of its intricate history and its associations with the 3 great violin makers of all time, Guarneri, Amati and Stradivari. Another galaxy would be nice, too.

[banzai]

I suppose I should answer my own question-

Space. The further, more foreign, more exotic, the better. I want to be there to see something spectacular and I want to be the only one. :)

[Hdier]

Grayscale-which is more important: exoticity or distance?

[banzai]

Distance makes things exotic to me.

One of my [real life] adventure aspirations it to travel extensively in Antarctica. There really isn't a whole lot of subjects of interest here, but it is one of the least populated places on the planet and thus I am extremely drawn to it.

When I am alone in a foreign or even harsh, challenging environment, I feel overcome by some sort of zen... not really sure how to explain it but it happens in degrees when I am exploring a new place.

[Hdier]

But what if you were to travel ten trillion miles away from the Milky Way, and found a world with the exact same cultures, languages, landmassess/oceans, landmass/ocean position, etc. It would be very distant, but not exotic. I think that your confusion comes from the fact that on Earth things become more exotic the farther you travel, generally speaking.

[danalaina]

i'd hie to some small island with incredibly blue water in the tropics somewhere. it'd need to have enough infrastructure in place that i could build the home i wanted and fly in the luxuries from time to time. other than that, the fewer around, the better.

Fine, I like areas further away. I don't care what you want to call it or what I may have called it. :irked:

Grr... people nit-picking my vocabulary *grumble*

[ShaiGar]

Silly Kitty, there were no ajahs before the breaking of the world.

[Hdier]

Sorry, I didn't mean to nitpick, it was an honest mistake on my part.

[banzai]

I am being overly sensitive... I think you are trying to help me to understand an idea through a question, not nitpick so much...

...however, don't forget lest you end up like the mess you see in my avatar. Mmm, ultra rare. ;D

[Paul V]

I would go to Antarctica as well, and probably set up a place to live there. I love cold, deserted places.

[niffer]

^-^ The world of Final Fantasy VIII!!!

[Hdier]

What about Final Fantasy 30 (XXX) :laugh:

[Seven]

I would travel back in time to an age before the emergence of man, a time when earth was pristine and untouched by human hands and explore the four corners.


...When I am alone in a foreign or even harsh, challenging environment, I feel overcome by some sort of zen... not really sure how to explain it...

I experience something similar. When I am alone and exploring the untamed places far from the nearest road or civilization, I feel exhilarated, energized and so alive and at the same time, I feel at peace, a sense of wholeness, wellness and completeness...it is hard to explain.

[Caramel]

I'd go wherever in the universe other 'intelligent' life exists.

I'd go back in time to witness the coming into existance of the universe.

[DeepPurple]

Harry Potter's wizarding world. I've always wanted to have magical abilities. Maybe be on board Battlestar Galactica. Or somewhere in the distant future.

[MichaelH]

1000 years in the future. I'd love to see what future society is like. We can hope for Star Trek, I'd settle for Futurama, but we may get Planet of the Apes. I'd love to see what things would be like in 10 lifetimes!

[PortInStorm]

North America before the Euros arrived, Galapagos Islands, back in time to where I used to work 10 years ago, to every time I saw the hurt I just caused (on the victim's face) and fix it, same here about the pristine waterfall (where only I was, no poisonous animals or annoying bugs), far up north about 300 yrs ago (but I could bring the amazing tech gear they have now, back in time), the Alps, southern New Zealand...

[True Brit]

Heaven, or perhaps maybe Nova Albion to find out exactly what happened to Sir Francis Drake's colony. Hastings, 1066 would also be nice to fight alongside my ancestor William the Conquerer.

[Hdier]

MichaelH:

In 10 generations we have discovered how to make warp-capable ships (we accomplish that in 9 1/2 generations). In the remaining time, we start a Civil War in the Milky Way, involving all intelligent life in it, strip mine 23.6 planets for each 20 people alive, occupy 39 planets, lose control of 23 of them, and wreak enough havoc for all our post caveman technology to be destroyed, our memories wiped, and be dropped on a miscellaneous, out-of-the-way planet. It happens every 6 trillion years, and I'm not sure why they keep letting us off of the new 'Earth' that we inhabit.

[spiritdetectivegirl]

Planet Irk from Invader Zim for my space exploration.

Something anime/manga related. Or "folklore-ish" feel to it. Or perhaps something mythological? Like visting the old gods of diffrent cultrues.

And being able to have adventures like that all my life. That I would love.

[Richard0612]

Seeing as I am obsessed with time & time travel, I would definitely like to travel in time [see the beginning of the universe, solve the science vs. religion quandary once and for all]. Failing that, seeing the paranormal world [investigating ghosts, spirits, etc.] would be interesting.

[Zilal]

Well, jeez, any time and place, I'd take the next few billion years to visit all the planets in the universe and explore them all. Why not? Plus I would want to know what conditions in all the environments on Earth are really like, even below the crust.

Speaking from the heart, though, the exploration I'm most interested in is one I'm already on, which is getting to know the people in my life. It's not that glamorous and on any day there are no guarantees of learning anything new, which is a bit disappointing. But people are like whole universes in themselves.

[Rei]

Mars
Or somewhere deep in the arctic/mountains.


Somewhere I can challenge my physical/mental capabilities.

[daisy53]

Antartica.

[rwyatt365]

...back to the pico-second before the "Big Bang" just to see who flipped the switch ;)

[Danisty]

1. In school with young Alexander the Great and his friend Hephaistion (that would make the teacher Aristotle).

2. On Callisto in the Jupiter Jazz episodes of Cowboy Bebop.

[AgentofGaming]

The future, to get new ideas and technology
The countries I build in a computer games, to see what I've done
The past, to socialize with great minds

[Santana28]

i'd go to Germany in the period between WWI and WWII. i think much can be learned from that era...

[Scorne]

If I could, I'd delve into the minds of Einstein, Tolkien, Hitler, Stalin, Walt Disney, Duane Chapman and some select others.

If it was a physical adventure instead of mental, then I'd say the entire BBC "Earth" visits. Breathtaking.

[OmegaPsi]

I would go to:

A) An alternate universe to not alter our time stream and introduce nuclear technology in the middle ages then jump 4000 years in the future to see how much damage I did.

B) I would absolutely love to go to that planet "Elysia" On Metroid Prime 3...ah a place in the heavens that does nothing but learn..

C) Travel to both the future and the past to see what it was like.

D) once more travel to another dimension to not interrupt our time stream and eliminate christianity to see what the world would be like then..

E) Jump to a friendly alien planet

F) Travel back in time to meet Rasputin of Russia, Ghengis Khan, Alexander the great. (Assuming they won't kill me..)

G) Go to the edge of the universe..

H) go past the edge of the universe..

hmm I can think of more later..
