Locarno, Switzerland
While it’s been a few years now since I lived in Europe, one of my fondest and proudest memories was going to Switzerland to bungee jump! The allure of Switzerland was the beauty and the adventure. It was irresistible to someone like me. My only regret is not getting to spend more time in Switzerland! I would love to go back and see The Matterhorn or go skydiving in Interlaken. While my time was short, I highly recommend going to Switzerland and here is why. Nice people I didn’t know this about Switzerland, but I met the nicest people here! We went to a restaurant the first night we got…

Has it ever crossed your mind to enter the deep blue ocean and go down 60ft where there is no direct access to air and your surrounded by water? This TERRIFIED me. Okay, okay you have a regulator in your mouth so you can breathe and you have a mask over your face so you can see, but still it is a dangerous sport where drowning is a real possibility.
