When I was 20 years old, I decided to travel around Europe, because I wanted to see famous museums and to experienced another culture. Especially I wanted to go France. I was really interested of the Louvre museum and the Orsey museum. But I had the most great experience in switzerland. I can not forget that time until now.
My friend and I went Interlaken, Switzerland. First time we planed to go Jungfrau, but it was a little bit cloudy. So we changed our plan to do some unique activity. We asked to another traveler, which is the most exciting extreme sport we can do here? One of the traveler recommended us about 'The Paragliding' We had never heard about that, but it sounded interesting. We found someone who guide for us to go paragliding. We Climbed a mountain 40 minutes by car. There were more people than I expected. The guide explained how to paragliding and asked for keep the rule during flight. Flight? I could not believe that word. We just thought that paragliding is similar as bungee jumping.
First step of paragliding was put on all safety equipment and parachute. It was so heavy and little bit tight. Next step was just run to a steep cliff. At that time when I stood on top of the mountain, I felt thrill and afraid. But the guide had to ride with beginner, I was satisfied. Finally we ran to cliff and then jumped! Can you imagine? I was flying! I was ecstatic that time and felt free. There was nothing left afraid about flying.
This is my great experience of extreme sport. I really want to do that again. You can fly even if you are easily frightened. Just run and jump. That is all you need.
Fantastic story!
