Dr. Leandro Velasco Shares his Love for Skydiving
"My first experience with skydiving was in 1999. I was fascinated, but due to my studies and commitments I did not continue in the sport. I ended up doing other sports like kitesurfing and hang gliding, but in 2016 I returned to parachuting. I jump almost weekly, and this is a time where all my problems and worries go away, where I live only in the moment. Nothing else matters. This is something that makes me feel more alive."
