adventurous
Eager for thrills
Adventurous describes a willingness to take risks or try new things.
An adventurous traveler seeks out unfamiliar places; an adventurous eater samples exotic cuisines.
The word implies excitement rather than recklessness—adventure as opportunity, not danger.
She's always been adventurous, the first to suggest we try something new.
