It seems that my life’s goal is to propel myself upward. I feel my best flying, flipping, soaring, gliding, floating in an ethereal state. That’s why I’m drawn to activities that give me that rush. Maybe I missed my calling as a circus acrobat. Who knows. These thoughts take that “What Color is Your Parachute” career book to another level.

Learn about the art of the trapeze here, and meet Tony Steele, a pioneer of the sport, who claims that his mom wrapped his lunch in a road map when he ran away to join the circus.

About the author

Autumn Carpenter
While navigating the carpool lane and translating toddler conversations might not rank high on some adventure life lists, I happily include those accomplishments alongside skydiving, dodging Pamplonian bulls and surviving three-hour Vinyasa yoga classes. I look for the story in everyday situations, and convey them easily in both print and online mediums. I’m also SEO-friendly ghostblogger, web content writer and copywriter. Let’s collaborate on a project today!
