Extreme sports, part 2 (writing day 12) As I said I used to go paragliding for two years. Why paragliding? I love the freedom of flying. A skilled paraglider in contrast to skydiver or bungee jumper can stay in flight for hours gliding through the air with an elevation gain. Also, I like simplicity - can you imagine, that your flying equipment might be placed in a backpack? It feels like you could go anywhere with your glider, open it in a few minutes and fly into the sky. It's not that simple, of course:) You rely on the weather conditions, your fitness, and luck. Sometimes waiting for good weather window lasts for hours, but having the privilege to see the world from a birds-eye view worth it. I like to watch the beautiful landscapes while flying. Being up in the air made all (including me and my problems) seems tiny, and I felt so ease, calm and comfortable in the sky. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to do it, I'll never forget these feelings and I hope to enjoy it next year.
