10 Extreme Travel Adventures to Add to Your Bucket List:
In the spirit of the hugely popular book “1000 Places To See Before You Die,” I’d like to offer up a few more adrenaline-soaked activities to add to your travel to-do list. These activities are all experiential, aspirational and, most importantly, extreme!
1) Rev your engines and learn how to drive a real race car at Doug Floey’s Drag Racing school. http://www.dougfoley.com/
2) Bike the World’s Most Dangerous Road in Bolivia. http://www.gravitybolivia.com
3) Brave the cage of death! Swim with giant saltwater crocs from the safety of a plastic cage! Crocosaurus in Darwin, Australia looks crazy! http://www.crocosauruscove.com/(credit for croc photo above: www.surfinsteven.com)

Oh man! These adventures sound awesome! Now for the tough part….how do you make this list a reality?
One effortless way to earn points towards redeemable travel rewards is by applying for a travel rewards card. For the next few weeks, I’m working as an online partner with American Express and will test drive, tweet and blog about the new American Express Gold Rewards Card. Here are a few things you need to know to help you tackle your very own extreme travel adventures!
With the new American Express Gold Rewards Card, you can:
-Earn double rewards points when you purchase groceries, gas, drugtore items and travel (including air, hotel and car rentals)
-Pay for ANY type of travel with your points, including flights on any airline, hotels, car rentals or vacation packages. Just charge the travel to the Card and then call Amex to pay with your points
-Pay for travel booked with a travel agent, tour operator or online travel website with your points
-There are no blackouts, and no restrictions when charging travel to the Card and paying with points
-You can even pay for the taxes with points
- There’s no limit to the number of points Cardmembers can earn and points do not expire
With each purchase, you earn points that may bring you closer to fulfilling the adventures on your bucket list! So you’ve seen my to-do list of Top 10 Extreme Travel Adventures, what’s on yours? Leave your comments below…
