It was the weirdest feeling ever! My head felt it was growing yet becoming light, while the hairs on the back of my neck felt like they were standing from a very cold sensation running down my spine. It was the first time I’d felt this way and I was starting to freak out. But, [...]

Suspended on 840 meters of wire at 4,500 above sea level, with nothing to hang on to except dear life, I rediscovered how to pray and called on all the angels and saints, even ancient gods and goddesses of the Vikings! I wanted to back out, but before I knew it I was being strapped [...]

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? That may be a hard question to answer so instead of racking your brain I’m just going to throw New Zealand out there. Why am I just throwing New Zealand out there? Mostly because you can’t go to New Zealand and come back [...]
