The adventurer is a risk taker. He's happiest when boldly exploring the unknown. That might mean a weekend trip over a remote hiking trail, or just getting lost in the big city in search of some random excitement. Adventurers can be X Games types who brave the perils of every season by surfing or skiing, or nature lovers who prefer the subtler pleasures of woods, caves, and streams. Skydiver, spelunker, and kayaker: the adventurer is all these and more.
When buying a graduation gift for the adventurer, it's best to match the equipment to the experience. A handheld GPS system, for example, would be an ideal graduation gift for the wandering adventurer. Digital cameras are thoughtful graduation gifts for adventurers who enjoy recording the wildlife they encounter. Backpacks and outdoor wear are versatile graduation gift alternatives. Or for the adventurer who's hard to please, a gift certificate will help him buy the tools he needs.
