More like "publicly want to try once." Things you have going for you: -- you're fit -- you're an engineer, which means: ------ you have good spatial reasoning skills ------ you like solving problems ------ you like improving efficiency -- you like playing those "figure out how to exit a room" puzzles -- you live in the "O zone" with a lot of orienteering opportunities I don't expect you to take up orienteering as your niche sport (that's what rock climbing and kung fu is for), but I think that you'd have a good time if you tried it.

Things you have going for you:
– you’re fit
– you’re an engineer, which means:
—— you have good spatial reasoning skills
—— you like solving problems
—— you like improving efficiency
– you like playing those “figure out how to exit a room” puzzles
– you live in the “O zone” with a lot of orienteering opportunities

I don’t expect you to take up orienteering as your niche sport (that’s what rock climbing and kung fu is for), but I think that you’d have a good time if you tried it.
