With the worldwide quarantine lockdown that we are living in, it is normal to feel like life will never get back to normal. But it sure will, just like it was the case after World Wars 1 and 2. All crises recorded in history concluded and people picked up the pieces, so there is hope that we soon will get over COVID-19. If you are an outdoor or a travel enthusiast, this pandemic has robbed you the God-given right to travel the world and immerse yourself in as many activities as there are out there. You just can’t wait for coronavirus to be contained!
So, once the lockdown is lifted and we are free to travel and have outdoor fun again, where will you go and what will you do?
5 outdoor activities that you definitely must try:
Kayaking
If you live in a big city, chances are that you haven’t seen a body of water for months. Once coronavirus is contained, find a river, a bay, a lake, or an ocean either locally or overseas and try kayaking. This is an outdoor activity that every outdoor enthusiast should try at least once in a lifetime. It is laid-back enough for newbies- you will need little instruction to get going. And now that you have been locked up with your partner for weeks or months, kayaking with him/her in a double kayak would be great if you wish to rekindle your romantic life.
Skydiving
This adrenaline-pumping activity is great if you want to feel alive again after an extended period of sedentary living. It is a mind-blowing sport whereby you launch yourself out of an airplane; allow gravity to plummet you from up there, down through the air. The breathtaking free-fall allows you to admire the earth’s incredible beauty from a bird’s eye position, the beauty that you haven’t had a chance to see in months. There are endless skydiving spots in the world for you to choose from.
Biking
Take out your bike for a spin around town to see how everyone is picking up the pieces post-coronavirus. Take things a notch higher by riding down steep mountain-sides, navigate volcanic craters, and discover new biking trails in your neighborhood. If your budget allows, go cycle the ancient Inca Trail, as you admire the breathtaking beauty of sacred temples and landscapes that are dotted all around the trail. Take your adventure to the wilderness in the Middle East and kick up clouds of dust as you regain your biking momentum. Your biking options will be open again after COVID-19; don’t waste a single chance to explore all the options.
If you are enthusiastic about biking but you are afraid that your age, fitness, or health status isn’t ideal for extreme biking. By being motorized, these bikes are able to ascend hills and withstand tough terrains, so your knees and other joints are spared from the stress that comes with biking. You can convert your normal bike into a motorized bike by mounting a simple gas-powered bicycle motor kit on the bike. You can make such a bike at home or hire a professional to do it for you.
Rock climbing or bouldering
Take a road trip to California or Colorado; there are many inviting rocks for you to try. Unless you have an indoor rock climbing gym at home, there is no way you have done this the whole of 2020. If you have climbed rocks before, try bouldering this time. It is almost similar to rock climbing, only that it doesn’t have ropes or harnesses. You secure yourself using especially gripping bouldering shoes. It is a good way to challenge your limits post-COVID-19.
Scuba scooter and scuba dive
Underwater scooter riding is an improved version of scuba diving and snorkeling. It is a unique sport that allows you to relish the beauty of marine life as you ride a scooter underwater. You definitely should try it either solo or alongside your partner.
Scuba diving in Malaysia or the tropical islands of Andaman is also a great activity to check out. You don’t need to be a professional diver or an experienced swimmer to do this, so you don’t have any reason not to add this activity in your post-corona bucket list.
Conclusion
There are many activities that you can try after coronavirus. Anything you aren’t able to do in quarantine should be on your bucket list. However, the five activities we have included in this list are not just post-quarantine activities. They are all must-do activities at least once in a lifetime.
