I have never jumped off a plane in Dubai

but I have in a pool in Tenerife at midnight.

I have never touched an exotic snake

but I have touched my soft, white dog; Teddy.

I have never swung in the Amazon, swinging on the vines

but I have travelled to New York and shopped.

I have never speeded down Mount Everest

but I have zoomed fast down a snowy hill in Austria.
