Hello everyone, this is my first post (apart form my presentation) and I must say that I am quite excited.
Today I want to introduce to the HIVE community, speleology, basically a bunch of persons that, voluntarily (yes, without being forced 😅) explore narrow and deep caves.
I have always been fascinated by caves, and when a friend of mine told me that in my city there was a course to become a speleologist, I immediately decided to try it (yes I tend to throw myself into this kind of stuff without thinking twice ☠️).
The curse lasted for 2 months more or less, comprising both theoretical and practical lessons.
The best part was when we went to a try out our equipment for the first time.
I have never been scared of heights (I have tried also skydiving), but I must admit that the first time that I found myself on the edge of a rock wall and I had to jump-back into the void relying on a knot that I had made... well let's say that I felt the adrenaline !!!
Apart from the amazing experience, this was also a chance to meet new people, and I have to say that the speleologist community is made of really wonderful and amazing ones. Also because, to like speleology, you have to be a little crazy in the first place, and to me, this are the best people to be around with 😎.
After this amazing experience I understood that:
In my next posts I will show some of the amazing caves that I was able to visit, so stay tuned !!!
