I was the organizer of the first Hungarian Local Guide Meet-up in Gödöllő, which is a beautiful small historical city only a couple of miles from the capital, Budapest. It was a great experience and an exciting map editing walk. Since then, I organized meetups in several Hungarian cities, for example in Budapest (World Wide PhotoWalk Budapest), Fot (photo walk) and Godollo (2nd one) with my wife, @Fructy 🙂

Great photos and experience @Andras_H! I'm pretty sure you will get your ticket! Now I'm curious to see if I can find my first review in maps

Hi @Andras_H, amazing pictures! Loved them all.
You are a paraglider!!! That's so cool! I have always been dreaming of flying, not with any instructor or a co pilot. I did skydiving once, that was one of the craziest things I have ever done in my life. Loved it like anything. But I so wish I could do that alone! It must be really fun flying from so high all by yourself.
All the best for the summit! I can see you won the ticket already. 😛
Good luck, man!

Hi @LucioV, thank you, I am happy that you liked it. It would be an honor to be one of the lucky ones to get the chance to meet you guys.
But first I have to finish my 1 minute video, because it is not yet done.. 😄
You can find your first review by scrolling down on your reviews section until the bottom 🙂
Hi @SoniaK, thank you for your nice words!
I would say, if you liked the skydiving you would probably also like the paraglinding:) However this is a different style of flying (less speed, but more airtime, more control, more relaxed, I think) During learning, relatively soon you can reach a state, when you can fly alone from learning hills. When you are alone with your wing at 2000+ m high at cloudbase, you see everything a little bit different with an endless calm:) That is priceless.
Let me know if you start to learn it with a paragliding school 🙂

I don't know when exactly I can start learning paragliding, they don't teach it here, in my country. But I will let you know when I do. And just by reading the small description from your post and seeing the photos, I am more eager to learn now. One day, sure. 🙂

@SoniaK Are you sure that there are not any? 🙂 It should be at least one, I think. Where are you from?

Yes @Andras_H, there is none as yet. But some centers are planning to open up soon, though nobody knows really when is that. May be @MahabubMunna or @YOUSUFMSEDDAT could tell better.
I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

@SoniaK, I see.
Unfortunately this paragliding word map has not any take off places listed in Bangladesh. However this map is not the most detailed one, but provides a high level word-wide overview.
So it can be that there are a couple of places. At the other side your land needs to be discovered for flying sites:)
Based on the Google Earth Bangladesh is pretty flat land. In this case there is another option without hills, called paragliding winch. Here you can check one of my winch start
