The Best Countries in the World for Risk-Taking Travelers

Your mom would probably prefer that you didn’t wingsuit off the lip of a volcano into a bi-plane, but if you insist on being the wildest adventure traveler around, there are steps you can take to make her feel more at ease.

The best country for engaging in risky behavior without putting too much in the hands of fate? Australia.
