When people think of Valentine’s Day, the most common images that are conjured up are of candlelit dinners, sappy movies and cuddling on a park bench or a cosy couch. However, some people find the thought of such a tame Valentine’s Day very dull indeed. If you would rather use this occasion as an excuse for an adventure, you’re not alone in your feelings. An experience day is becoming an increasingly popular way for a couple to celebrate their love.
In February, snow is still on the ground in many places, so why not consider a visit to a ski lodge? There, you can still participate in quieter activities like relaxing by the fire, but you and your special someone can really get to know each other through the invigorating experience of zooming down a hill on skis, not to mention riding up the ski lift together. This experience day can be great even for beginners, since most lodges are equipped to handle those who are just getting started as well as experts.
While some people love the snow, others find the water much more alluring. One fascinating way to spend the day is with a joint scuba dive. With an experienced guide, you can uncover all of the wonders that lie under the water. Depending on where you go, you will be astonished at the variety and richness of colour of the fish and other aquatic life under the waves. Be sure to bring a waterproof camera so you can take a closer look at those finned friends after you are back on dry land!
Of course, if you want the ultimate experience day, it’s hard to go wrong with an option that will leave you hurtling through the air. The two preferred methods of doing this are bungee jumping and skydiving. Both are a thrill, so it’s up to the two of you to decide which holds more appeal. While you will be expertly secured and given instructions to make the experience as safe as possible, there are always some risks attached to falling from such great heights, but that is what makes both of these options such an adrenaline rush and certainly a way to ensure an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.
If you are looking for something different to do on this day of romantic connection, consider an experience day. It may be a bit non-traditional, but it’s very exciting and can be a wonderful way to get to know that sweetheart of yours.
