Exotic travel ideas needed?

I am single and want to take a cool adventure type trip, avoiding most of the tourist traps. I have checked out Couch Surfing and also did a Rideshare thing from Toronto to Texas and back. Can anyone suggest any other ways to travel cheap and meet the locals? I'd like to mountain bike and hike and sail, meet people and have adventures in exotic locales...and just need some ideas for a starting point. I have no time constraints. I just need to get away from the same old of my job city country etc

    if you want to stay on the american continent you could

    explore the mississippi delta, you could explore yucatan,

    you could visit the remains of the inka, aztec and maya\cultures\and so on.

    if you consider going to africa i can recommend a travel

    agency who does bus tours (small buses) for young people -

    DRIFTERS in south africa. i've taken one of their tours some

    years ago and it was just unbelievable, made friends for life

    and want to go back there.

    if you consider going to russia, why not explore kamtschatka,

    the volcanoes, the wildlife and see the immense change from

    communism to capitalism.

    or travel to lake baikal in siberia, which holds more than 20 percent

    of drinking water of this planet and is the deepest lake on it.

    huge nature reserves all around it, prices very low, interesting

    people, minority groups, various culturesetc. etc.the baikal

    ito me is one of the wonders of nature.

    i could go on forever.....
