Had a good friend who flew for Crossair in CH for a long time. Flying Saab's and Jumbolina's down to Cat 3 in the mountains, with snow, ice and lots of wind would be very exciting.
I used to fly with Exec Air out of Roskilde and when they tried to get me to do a V1 cut in a Learjet, on a runway with a bit of snow AND then cover the windshield for takeoff, I told them that this is too much excitement for me and that we do this type of thing in the simulator.
Other friend flew a lot in PNG, down in the Pacific and he loved it. Problem was if you went down in the jungles, the snakes got you. That would be exciting for a while.
Angola used to be exciting, but then parts of Africa are still that way.
Go to Alaska and be a bush pilot. Do that for a couple of years and you will either stay or long for a more quiet job!
