I’ve always been a thrill seeker and an adrenaline junkie, so I was on cloud nine for finally checking the number 1 item off my bucket list which was skydiving last August 2019 in Sydney, Australia.
I availed the 15,000ft Tandem Skydive from Skydive Australia at a cheaper price via Klook. I originally booked Sydney-Wollongong but due to the bad weather, we were transferred to Syndey-Newcastle. I skydived in the wintertime so they provided the necessary gear, but my hands were still freezing especially at high altitude (or maybe I was just too nervous LOL). Shout out to my instructor, Ralph, for doing the best that he could to calm my nerves! We jumped out of a plane from an altitude of 15,000 feet and freefall at over 200 km/hr for about a minute, then float under canopy over the spectacular beach and city views of Newcastle for a few minutes more. The moment we landed, I wanted to do it all over again. I think my new bucket list item is going to be solo skydiving haha!
Check out Skydive Australia’s GoPro video of my skydiving experience below. (I trimmed certain parts and edited the music.)
