What is the craziest thing you have ever done: While working on a yacht, the crew was given a few hours off one night in the Bahamas, so we snuck into the Atlantis water-park after hours and went down the water slides. Or starting a nonprofit organization establishing sustainable sources of clean drinking water in the Nicaraguan jungle. Depends on your definition of crazy.
