There were a couple of articles that I ran into over the weekend about various adventures and misadventures that I thought were worth sharing.

1. The 10 Coolest Places to Swim – a great list with pictures and videos of some places that would be amazing to explore, and most of them are in places that would be fantastic to explore beyond the cool swimming holes.
2. Tourist clings to Australia train – a teenager travelling through Australia made it back to the train station late and leapt onto the train, but he didn’t make it inside. So he clung to the outside of the train for a couple of hours, until he was finally spotted, save, and brought inside.
3. HOW TO: Plan a Vacation Using Social Media – a rundown of web tools that can help you connect with your destination and then share your experiences with friends, family, and other web denizens.
