My Travel Story

by: Maurice Hardin Start Date: Jul 19, 2023 - End Date: Oct 16, 2023
This Getaway adventure shark diving and sky diving will impact my education on sharks and their behavior. I feel that it is important to gain the knowledge about these beast of the sea because they are not coming ever so close to human areas on beaches so the opportunity to dive and see these creatures first hand will gain me direct knowledge that could be used in generations to come to make safer shark and human encounters. I chose this location (California) to shark dive because it is an area known for major shark sightings so I know my likelihood of seeing a shark is guaranteed. Shark diving is meaningful to me because it helps me face my fears of sharks while also finding key information about sharks that could in the future save someone's life if an encounter happens. 
 The vacation to Arizona to skydive is just a reward to myself after doing the shark expedition. I have always dreamed of skydiving one day and what better time to do it than after being in the water with jaws? Skydiving has many benefits ranging from overcoming fear of flying and jumping to just simply learning to trust people you don't know but the most important thing to me about skydiving is the opportunity it presents to see the true beauty of this great big world. I chose Arizona because the safety veviews are great so I know I should be in safe hands  what makes skydiving meaningful to me is the almost certain peace I am guaranteed while soaring back to the earth just the thought of the ability to just have a clear mind from all things earth related just brings a sense of self relaxation and peace. Plus it's the closest I will ever get to experiencing what it's like to be a bird just so high above the earth with no worries just calm air and miles of scenery.
