Up in the air

I began learning aerial silks regularly since Summer 2021. I'm trying to do invert straddle climb neatly.

I'm a starter at climbing/bouldering and practice very irregularly.

Sent my name to Mars together with the 2020 Perseverance. https://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/

Went skydiving on my 27th birthday.

13,000 feet, 60 seconds freefall.
