Our extreme paraglide off Babadag Mountain in Oludeniz, Turkey. We were feeling pretty hardcore 😉

There are many different ways to explore the Galapagos Islands. Taking a cruise is certainly one of the best ways to cover the most ground,…
That’s a great video and love the music. I’ve never done anything like that, would love to try that. And who knows about Turkey, maybe we’ll re-examine the whole thing over the next few months depending on what happens.
Hmm. walking kind of funny there at the end. Someone have an accident 🙂

Haha! Glad you enjoyed 🙂 That’s a dance move I call the ‘paraglide harness waddle’… you’ll be an expert post-paraglide, too! Keep me posted on Turkey!
I had to come back and watch it again. I’ll be doing a tandem paraglide tomorrow here in Cape Town…and if I come out of it alive Spanky says she might try it too (I can’t imagine, that would be funny).
Great video. I guess I’ll have to find some music for mine too 🙂

I’m SO excited for you to do this! I think you will both be surprised by how relaxing it is up there. Please make a video so I can see!
Hey Andrea!
Went great and I’m putting together the video.
I have technical question for you about uploading to youtube.
It was filmed with a GoPro and I rendered it on my computer using h.264 1920*1080 which I’m told optimal for youtube.
But I’m not really happy with how it shows up on youtube. Looks good on computer but ehhh on youtube.
Any tips?
Can’t wait to check it out! Has Spanky tried it out? I’ve had the same issue, unfortunately. I always use 1920×1080 res but the quality is not as good once uploaded because YouTube automatically brings it down to about 480p. They do this so that the videos are more reliable based on a wide range of users with various bandwidths. Once you’ve uploaded your video, you can hover over the bottom-right corner and click the settings button. From here you can change the quality, raising it to 1080p, but only for videos you watch… you can’t set this as a standard for people viewing your video.
Thanks so much Andrea. I see the quality difference immediately when doing that. Damn Youtube!
That really helps, thank you.
