Ariana 0 #1 September 16, 2003 Hi from Western Australia. I've just done two Tandems and loved it so much. I'm going to do my 'A' lic in the end of October - beginning of November (whenever I can get the time off work)... Skydiving was the biggest buzz for me as I'm a plane phobic person. But it helped me feel more confident in my own abilities and it has in all made me a better person. Not to mention all the amazing people that I met along the way. I'm sure you will hear many more stories on my journey to achieving what most of you have already achieved. Dream big and aim high.
