Learn about these experiences from individuals who took risks to pursue an adventure or a personal goal.

The Greens left Rhode Island on Scallywag II bound for the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Three years later, the couple sailed home on the roads less traveled. With stops in Cape Verde, Senegal and the sensual land of Brazil, they ended their voyage with a thousand-mile cruise in the coffee-colored waters of the Amazon River -- a glorious cacophony of sights, music, sounds and stories.
