My partner, Paul, and I put our lives on hold last year - I deferred my last year at uni and the start of an awesome job - to travel from Australia to the USA to be skydive bums.
I manifested at Hinckley and Paul packed. We lived in the DZ bunkhouse. We made more than enough money to live and play with, bought awesome new gear and met some of the most fantastic, awesome people we have EVER known. Our colleagues came from all around the world and the Hinckley regulars embraced us as two of their own. At the end of the season we spent 6 weeks travelling and staying on different DZs around the country and met even more awesome people.
Unfortunately our adventure ended badly - Paul was killed in an accident at Lake Wales 2 weeks before we were due to return to Australia. But if I could do it all again I most definetly would!
Actually, I started this post off wrong - we didn't put our lives on hold for a year - we really LIVED for a year!
Don't put it off for a "more convenient" time - do it NOW.
