I Went Paragliding in the Alps!

Yesterday was incredible! Our day started with a hike up to the top of a fortress where we had a view of the entire city of Salzburg. Soon enough I had a sky view of the entire city by parachute. We had to hike up the Austrian alps to find a cliff that would give us enough wind to carry us through the sky. We waited for a while on the cliff as I had to get all suited up and my guide had to make sure that the winds were safe enough, by using a nifty little machine they had. Once everything was set to go, I had to literally sprint off of a 1,000 foot cliff. I had to be in charge of running since I was in the front, and my guide was responsible for pulling the parachute over us. Jumping off the alps was the most insane experience I have ever had. Before I knew it I just sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed the view! 

Take a look!

So I'd been reading your blogs but not viewing all of your videos and I missed the paragliding one. That was soo intense! How did it compare to jumping out of a plain in Maui? It was Maui right? Haha. Woo what a rush! I had butterflies just watching!
