Aside from collecting him a bunch of rascally cousins? Not only wasn't he afraid of adventure-- from the tookish side-- but he's also unafraid of water, and less sheltered (Old Forest being nearby, and the road to Bree not so far off as all that.)
I sometimes wondered how Frodo managed to connect with all those travellers (dwarves, and others of a less than savory nature), and elves even, and the bounders, and learn all that he did learn about beyond the borders. Perhaps it was just a matter at being at the right Inn at the right time, but those mentions of him travelling alone on long walks make it seem otherwise.
