Next step to the sky

You can understand "Next step to the sky" in many ways. Sky as the limit of our skills. Sky as the air, clouds and the infinity. For me it was something I've never been before by myself. You can't say that you conquered the sky by flying rynair...

That's one of the reasons why my adrenaline junky friend came up to paragliding idea.
It's not like you think. You do not have your first flight with the instructor. You do not feel safe at all. You feel like you are going to take off and then fall down like a fucking rock. I thought that it's an adrenaline shot for at least one month. I coudn't be more wrong. Of course people are always scared when they haven't done this before. I can compare first flight to first time swimming, biking or whatever similar. Then every single flight is like going to grocery store.

To sum up: It was fun, sth new but nothing super special. Of course I was flying not more than 50-70m high so it's barely flying. Maximum flying time was sth about 2min. Now I'm going to Slovenia for 2nd step course. You can fly there for about 1h ;) If I don't like it after this I will leave it.

Here you have some short movie made by me from 1st step of paragliding course:

More and more activities

Hello hello everybody!
As you noticed I haven't been writing for a while. Everything is going so fast. I thought that doing a lot of things slower your live. Makes it full of thoughts and experience. Now I'm not even sure what I've been doing for last 3 months ;o

So let's start from fulfilling my father's dream and going to Sweden.
We went to my favorite fishing camp on the Torron island. Spent marvelous time tightening up our bond.
I will post in next week about my other trips: Finale Ligure, Varigotti and paragliding course.
