See Me Fly

Free Fall Into Paradise - This is one of my life's most memorable experiences.

I was in New Zealand somewhere in November 2007. Me and my friends traveled from North Island to South Island in 14 days. We did everything we could possibly do - black water rafting, white water rafting, mountain biking, zorb, swoop, jet ride, glacier walk, bob sledging, hiking and of course the famous bungee jumping.

When we arrived in Queenstown, I decided to try sky diving - something that I've always wanted to do in life. I thought to myself: Where will be a better place to sky dive if it is not in New Zealand ? It's pretty obvious why I say that, simply because New Zealand is one of the most beautiful country with a fantastic scenery.

I asked my friends if they were interested. One of them is but unfortunately he had been suffering the after effect of a shoulder dislocation since his bungee jumping session. So at the end of the day, I am the only one into sky diving.

Doing alone sucks but that did not stop me from doing it. The best part is I never regretted it. In fact, I am thankful and happy that I did it, alone. It gave me a sense of achievement - something that I did but none of my friends did, something I did that is my story to tell but not anyone else. Something so great that cannot be described with words...

Hence, I would like to share some of those special moments here...

isn't this a magnificant view ? ...The Paradise

here we go... the leap into the sky

i'm flying...

ah...the feeling of free fall...

For that mere 45 seconds of free fall... I have felt the most wonderful feeling ever. You can feel yourself surrounded by the wind and the clouds, looking down on the mountains, feeling yourself floating in air, feeling yourself flying in the sky...
