Most of us will know somebody whose holidays are just that little bit more daring.
Their pub conversations are littered with modest little comments like: “there was this one time when I was trekking through the foothills of the Andes and got kidnapped by Marxist freedom fighters who I ended up joining and then writing a bestselling novel about.”
You know the type.
Well, if you fancy adding to your collection of interesting anecdotes and having a bit of adventure, without the kidnapping bit though, you can’t go far wrong at www.directadventures.co.uk. They can set up trips to do all sorts of adrenaline-fuelled things on every continent, and at surprisingly affordable prices.
They probably could set up a kidnapping - they can set up anything else, by the looks of things - but maybe the market isn’t really there for it.
