The characteristics of an adventurous personality include: throwing caution to the wind venturing where most fear to tread not being bound by the same terrors and worries that limit others living on the edge challenging boundaries and restrictions pitting yourself against your own mortality As I've looked back on his life, I think that was pretty accurate!
