Sky Diving


Activity: Tandem Sky Diving
Fall Time: 30s
Jump Elevation: 3,000 m
Location: Rosario, Argentina
Crew: Ben
Lisa's Mom Rating: ???

I've always wanted to go skydiving. When I was in Turkey last year, I tried to jump with Oliver, Olivia and Jeevan, however the company in Izmir was not quite open for the season yet. Flash forward 6 months to December while visiting Bennett in Argentina..

We took a 22 hour long bus ride from Iguazu to Rosario. We got off the bus and once we got to the hostel, Bennett told me to grab my runners because we were going skydiving in an hour! WHAT! I can't believe he did such a good job keeping it a secret but it was definitely the coolest Christmas present I've ever received. The best part was that I didn't have the nerves-build-up that he did over the few days that he had planned it and I was just on cloud 9. No stress, just pure stoke.
Me and Seba!

Iguazu Falls

Activity: Hiking
Location: Puerto Iguazu, Argentina
Crew: Ben


While Bennett and I were in Argentina, of course we had to go see Iguazu Falls. We roamed around all day here, admiring the many beautiful falls, we rode on the boat that takes you right underneath some of the falls, and then hiked out to another little swimming hole in the late afternoon! It was damn hot. I've never been in a rainforest before - it's so different than hiking back at home! ;)
