Santiago Bilinkis l Risk and Reward - Trying to live a life out of the comfort zone

Very few things in my life took me out of my comfort zone so much as when a few years back I traveled with a group of friends to learn to fly a paraglider. Trips with my friends are chosen by voting, and, needless to say, that year I lost.

So I travelled to Tafí del Valle in Tucuman, Argentina, pretty scared, but determined to start the course, which I knew started on a totally flat place.  I thought the next step was to fly in tandem with a professor and that I was willing to try.
