misadventurous
Attracting trouble constantly
Inclined toward or characterized by misadventure—unlucky ventures or unfortunate experiences.
The word suggests someone prone to mishaps or expeditions that go wrong: His misadventurous spirit led him into one disaster after another.
Less common than adventurous, it emphasizes the negative outcomes rather than the boldness of the undertaking.
