I ran away from home. I packed a bag, kissed my goodbyes, and drove to a place where I could relax on my own and poke around as I pleased.

I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t be a quarterly activity. Do you?

I have a hypothetical for you. Let’s say you have an opportunity to try an activity that’s always sounded interesting to you, but for a variety of reasons — it’s too intimidating, primarily, but also maybe just too inconvenient/unavailable? — you’ve never done so. Skydiving, for instance. A boudoir photo session. Spending a day working as an official cast member at Disneyland, dressed as a princess. Helping a zoo veterinarian sedate a Bengal tiger. Swimming with stingrays.

Here’s the catch: the whole thing is going to be filmed for a sort of online reality show. You’re going to be pushed way out of your comfort zone, and cameras will capture every unflattering moment.

Would you do it? If so, what experience would you choose?
