with a little help from TBL, paul fell for 32 seconds..

If you’re new to The Buried Life here’s the deal: we are four guys trying to complete a list of 100 dreams and help other people tackle their own lists. Our goal is to help 100 strangers (at least). Here’s a letter from the first person we ever helped:

I must admit when I met you guys about a year ago on a sunny day in the Inner Harbor and you ask me that fateful question “what do you want to do before you die?” I was a bit skeptical. At that point I had not heard about The Buried Life, and I thought for somebody to randomly walk up to a stranger and ask them that question was a bit strange. I said skydiving because that was the coolest possible thing I could think of at the moment, and to my surprise you guys actually gave me a certificate for free skydiving.

Well about three weeks ago I finally used the certificate you guys gave me and actually went skydiving. I’d just like to sincerely thank you because it was by far the craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It was a tandem jump from 10 000 feet (pretty freaking high) and the free fall alone lasted 32 seconds before we even pulled the chute. Right before we jumped I had to hang off the side of the plane for a bit which was just craziness.

giving paul a free skydive motivated him to cross off his next big dream..

so he packed his bags and set off to egypt

what’s on your list?

Since I first me you guys I’ve been following your progress and what your doing is awesome. You have inspired me to make my own list of things I want to do before I die, and begin crossing them off as soon as possible. This summer I started off with a bang and crossed off #1 on my list “Go to Egypt and go inside the Great Pyramids”. Ever since I was a kid I’ve always loved Egypt and the pyramids, and its always been my dream. This summer I traveled Egypt and Europe, so I knew this was my big chance…

Anyways I have to go study for my next exam now (woohoo) but I just wanted to tell you guys to keep up the good work. The world needs more people like you guys. Thanks again, Paul

Thanks for the kind letter pal, we were happy to help and can bet your friends are now probably thinking about their next adventure.. Keep rockin and pay it forward -Jonnie
