ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 18


To be adventurous is to be willing to try new things (not necessarily action-packed).




ANSWER 2

Score 14


A slightly obscure alternative: Neophile




ANSWER 3

Score 11


Uninhibited often is used in the sense you ask for. Near-synonyms include unrestrained, unchecked, uncontrolled, unfettered, free, unbound, unconstrained, wild or unruly, unbridled, boundless, limitless, unstultified.

Regarding adventurous I prefer form venturesome (or perhaps adventuresome) but the meaning is nearly the same.

Also consider audacious (in senses "Disposed to venture or take risks" or daring) and dauntless (with its several "fearless, intrepid, bold, audacious" senses).




ANSWER 4

Score 9


In a less formal context, game is sometimes used as an adjective to mean "willing to do something, esp something different, new, or slightly dangerous"
