We all do stuff when travelling that we don't get to do at home -- all part of the appeal of visiting far-flung places. Herewith, I present my comprehensive list of 30 things you do when you’re away that you normally wouldn’t do at home. If you have any to add, by all means, be my guest.
Sleep under the stars
Go fishin’
Go off-roading
Hitchhike
Buy your lunch at a market and then enjoy it by a babbling brook

Eat four Swiss Movenpick ice creams or four Italian gelatos (locale dependant) every day for a week
Smoke opium
Go rapelling
Jump off a cliff into a quarry full of water
Go snorkeling or scuba diving
Go shopping. (I almost never shop at home, yet I always shop when I’m away. Why? Better stuff? Time? I can’t be sure.)
