Learning to Fly: Paragliding in Fang Liao Taiwan

Recently I’ve been working on a series of articles about paragliding in Taiwan.  I’ve been learning how to paraglide, and about the evolution of paragliding in Taiwan, from Malcom Vargas who is, as far as I know, the only certified foreign paragliding instructor in the country.  These are some photos from one of my first outings with Malcom taken while he taught two other students: Tim Hillebran and Paul Wesson.

If you’re an editor interested in a story about, or photographs of, paragliding in Taiwan contact me at xpatmatt (at) gmail.com.
