How many times have we seen birds soar across the sky, and thought to ourselves, “Man, wish I could fly like them.” And, during one such instance of thinking about flying, it struck me…I can actually do it. No, I wasn’t all of a sudden going to sprout wings and fly like a bird. But, what I was going to do was go for paragliding, and that is exactly what I did recently. Now, before I start telling you about my experience, let me just give you an overview of the activity.
“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.” – William Feather
Adventure is a word associated with a lot of things – travel, sports, life experiences and events, taking risks, relationships and more. While each person chooses his/her own adventure, it can truly be said that adventure is everywhere, within us and around us.
Most people feel that traveling to new and far-off places offers the best kind of adventure one could experience. The thrill of getting on a plane/ship/bus, and making the journey to a place one has never seen before, is so exciting.
