If you love exciting activities but easily loose enthusiasm, when you think of all those uncomfortable situations, you might go through, I suggest; plan, and try to go camping. Just make sure you take the right stuff. It is a interesting experience to sleeping in the open air. You can easily see the moon and the star just open your eyes.
Camping is fun and people always associate it with nature, long exploration walks, nighttime scary stories around the fireplace, songs, drinks and uncomfortable sleep and seating.
