I think this is a great idea. I also like vayable.com but that seems to be more about guides for locations.
There are plenty of expensive trek companies but what about lower cost adventures?
I think if the platform included teachers/coaches with skills to share, that would be awesome.
Like smaller adventures could be an afternoon learning parkour, gymnastics, breakdancing or an evening learning from a chef, expert fisherman or astrologist.
While I think it would be difficult to sustain a platform by offering once in a lifetime things (like Mt Everest) the list of above things could be once a month.
I'd be more interested in meeting up with reasonably local people that have awesome skills to teach me.
AirBnB has it's awesome castles and treehouses but I think it's bread & butter are lower cost sustainable transactions by volume.
