We’re about to introduce you to someone. But before we do, there are a few things you should probably know: 1) He’s kind of insane. 2) He’s willing to take you anywhere in the world... 3) ... in a hot-air balloon. 4) And then let you skydive out of it. Meet Stieger, the perfectly named stunt pilot behind the not-so-perfectly named Up, Up and Away, a fully customizable hot-air balloon expedition (yes, this means he’ll take you to Antwerp if you want) that may or may not involve a parachute, taking reservations now. It’s choose-your-own-adventure hot-air ballooning, plain and simple. Think about it. It’s just you, a guy who jumps out of big balloons for a living and... the entire planet. The beauty here is that it’s all up to you. Where you go, what you do... all of it. After you pick a destination (Swiss Alps; New Zealand; Cedar Rapids, Iowa...), just shoot Stieger your itinerary requests, and he’ll get to work on the logistics. Then, when the time comes, you’ll meet him at the agreed-upon launch site. Once in the air, Stiegs (you should definitely call him Stiegs) will teach you the ins and outs of piloting a balloon and make pit stops wherever you want. And if you feel like strapping on a parachute and free-falling into those pit stops, no one’s going to stop you. Although they probably should. |
