In things I never knew I wanted to do but now really, really do... The Jacuzzi Association (or l’Association Jaccuzzi) is a wild and crazy Swiss non-profit dedicated to the extreme, extreme sport of hot-tubbin’ it. From caves to mountain tops, they’ve championed the sport by hauling their gear, building the tubs out and of course, swimming in ‘em. The baddest of bathes? Rapelling under the Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland’s Valais region on October 1 with a hot tub full of 24 bathers. Bad. Ass.
I love nothing more than dressing the part, especially when my outfit comes with a harness and a hawk….Birds of prey say hello to Paragliders…. Parahawking (possibly the best sport ever after dating) was pioneered in Pokhara, Nepal by Scott Mason and two friends, Adam Hill and Graham Sunders-Griffithsin in 2001. Two months into a world tour Scott Mason met Adam, the owner of Frontiers Paragliding, and the idea took off… literally.
Bridging the extensive training of bad ass birds and the experience of flying, crazy kids like me can Parahawk by day and set up shop at Maya Devi Village by night - a traditional lakeside guesthouse in Pokhara. It’s home to some of the worlds largest raptors like Himalayan Griffon Vultures, White Backed Vultures, Red Headed Vultures, Cinerious Vultures, Egyptian Vultures plus Steppe Eagles, Bonellis Eagles, Black Eagles and even Peregrine falcons… similar to a bar full of broads in NYC.
So snag your very own Egyptian vulture and soar over Lake Fewa, Nepal. Just don’t fall in love… these aren’t the type of vultures you bring home to the parentals.
There’s nothing I love more than dressing the part, especially when your clothing is the only thing left to hold on to. From climbing a volcano to pitching a tent at ‘Roo, navigating the great outdoors is no small feat…. and neither is looking cool while climbing. Adrenaline is the name of the game, and Gilt & Jetsetterare in it to win it. Check out the Outdoor Adventurer sale, now through December 7th with serious ski vacations like the Cervo Hotel in Switzerland. I mean seriously, who doesn’t look sexy in googles!?
