Spending your time with family, friends or loved ones on the unique activities is a great idea itself. It forges bonds that will last a long time and most of all it’s fun, reduces any stress and often stands for activities much healthier than staring at the PC monitor. We picked a list of short idea seeds, which will work during parties, birthdays or weekend trips to bigger cities in Europe.

Skydiving
It is one of the more popular ideas, but in case you did not felt this air on your face, the thrill of the height and the relief of another happy landing, you definitely must do just that. It is satisfying, it is memorable and will be something to discuss for the rest of the day.

Potluck party
One of the easiest ways to integrate people on the international course, internship etc. It is nothing else, but a party in which everyone comes with something they made. You might try specialties from different regions of your country, different cuisines of many places or even special recipes of given families. Just be careful with trying all the alcohol that might be there and remember to give a good example with your cooking.

Axe Throwing
One of the most famous new disciplines, deriving from the Vikings and revisited by Canadians. Seems interesting? Well it is. The basic rules in axe throwing clubs are to have as much fun with small introductions. It is one of the sports that can be entertaining for almost everyone, without any big effort to learn complicated techniques. Clubs like Bad Axe in Krakow are also cultivating the tradition by cosplaying Nordic berserks. Neat!
-
Escape Rooms
Escape rooms are something newly fashionable, just as axe throwing. It is nothing surprising as the idea is simply great. Team of you and your friends is being closed and you have to solve riddles or perform tasks to walk out. It may be easier for younger participants or it can be very challenging. As it is relatively simple to organize, you will find plenty of those around old towns in many cities.

Live Action Role Playing (LARP)
Those events can take from few hours to whole week of your time. It may be more hardcore at the first glance, but it is something extremely rewarding with memories, friendships and stories to tell. The idea is to imagine yourself as someone entirely different and play as this character in the given setting. This may be fantasy world inspired by books of Tolkien or Martin or post-apocalyptic wasteland known from S. T. A. L. K. E. R. of Metro universes. It’s a bit more challenging and expensive, but I think that everyone should try it. With plenty of communities willing to introduce you to this way of spending your time, you should do just fine, asking and reading rules. It is also completely safe experience, based on trust but also well protected by organizers.

Scavenger Hunt
This interesting and simple gathering is based on looking for treasures hidden beforehand by someone organizing. Due to its basic idea, you can even organize it by yourself in any place, given it is not bothering anyone.
