| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 休閒產業經營學系 === 104 === Oversea expedition adventure means living in the wilderness environment for a long time, and engaging in extremely difficult outdoor adventure activities, which is full of challenging and unknown journey. This study aims to understand the effect that oversea expedition adventure brings to adventurers’ lives and the situation of adapting the original lives after oversea expedition adventurers undergoing great physical and psychological challenges. However, only few people have had a chance to engage in oversea expedition adventure, so qualitative research was taken for this study; taking four adventurers who had involved in oversea expedition adventure as research objects, and then to discuss their reentry behavior through semi-structured and in-depth interview.
The study finds that when the oversea expedition adventurers return to the original living environment, they often find themselves in “yearning of adventure experience” and “missing teammates” situations. In some cases, they might even feel depressed and mind goes blank. In addition, adventurers need time to adjust not only physiological condition but also psychological. Therefore, adventurers have different understanding of the value of life, and become more modest and contented by realizing the force of nature. Moreover, oversea expedition adventurers regard oversea expedition adventure as the core of life as well as the goal to pursue for the rest of their lives.
