THE HOUSE

December 27, 2013 | Flying Oceania, New Zealand, Oceania
As you all know I usually live a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. Most of the time I find a regular change of environment thrilling but for a while during my recent travels in Australia I was longing for a more stationary existence. I didn't want to cycle and I was tired of moving around. A month ago I arrived in Christchurch on New Zealand with cravings for a new activity and more routine. It's all worked out pretty well and I'm thoroughly content with my day to day life. I've learned how to fly and for the moment I live ...

Flying, not writing is on my mind at the moment. Almost three weeks have passed since I wrote a few sentences in SOLO SOARING. I have plenty of news, a bunch of stories and heaps of photos to share.

SOLO SOARING

December 7, 2013 | Flying Oceania, New Zealand, Oceania
I'm slightly more than a week into the paragliding course in Sumner outside Christchurch. The weather conditions have been almost ideal and seven days of flying has given me 37 solo flights! I can't believe how far I've been able to come in just a week. The learning curve, once you get consecutive days in the air, is very steep. In LEARNING TO FLY I described my first launch and flight which was an utterly unreal experience. It just keeps getting better and this week there's been a constant smile on my face. I can't get enough, I just ...
