SKYDIVING IN MELBOURNE
Would you like to fall out of a plane and enjoy 360-degree views of
Melbourne adorning Port Phillip Bay? Not for the faint-hearted, sky
dive in Melbourne and experience the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Depending on your chosen package and drop zone, one can choose
to drop from up to 15,000 feet for an insane 60 seconds of lifechanging
free fall. Float for several minutes and enjoy the view! The
activity is quick but extremely thrilling and definitely one to remember!
HORSEBACK RIDING
IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
The Highland Trail winds through wild mountains which are steeped
in history, open moorlands and forest tracks of the Cairngorm
National Park. This part of Scotland has escaped the development
of more southern areas and has a picturesque, rural landscape
traversing forests and farmland with old monasteries and castles
from a bygone era. Seek and do your research as there will be a
number of places for brisk canters on sure-footed, willing horses.
TAKE BETTER PHOTOS OF THE AURORA
All Instagram addicts will love this skill! So, while you're travelling in Finland, stop at its
capital, Helsinki and pick up a basic photography workshop because it will do wonders
when you nail that perfect shot of the Northern Lights! Usually, these workshops entail
a description of how the camera works in different modes (auto, aperture priority, shutter
speed priority, manual) as well as focusing on the basic aspects of photography such
as composition, correct exposure (aperture, exposure times and ISO), depth of field,
lens choice and focal length, direction of light, landscape and portrait photography.
During the workshop you will also work on different assignments and will have your
work critiqued. At the end of the classes you will be able to use the camera manually
and will have a solid knowledge of the fundamentals of photography.
