When I was little I had a dream: fly airplanes and travel the world. Nothing new here, I think hundreds of thousands dream about something like this. And maybe some of them, like a handful even manage to fulfill it. I went on to be a computer programmer. Nothing wrong with that, good pay and I like what I do, but I always felt I forgot about something. Something that made me smile, that got me excited, that gave me freedom and calm.

A few years ago I got a radio controlled airplane for my birthday from a couple of friends that knew about “my story”. In some ways they pushed me to make the first step and pursue a long-lost fantasy. But I knew nothing about how to fly it. Thankfully I joined a local RC club where I found friendly people who helped me with first steps. It was just like a baby learning to walk. My first attempts were terrible and eventually I broke the plane. Gazing at the plane crashing head first in mud made me reconnect with a part of myself and decide I’ll repair the plane.

I repaired it in a month and got up back in the air, highly motivated. Perseverance and a rediscovered passion made me get better and better and every weekend I was at the club flying. Since then I bought tens of UAVs, one of which is one of the first commercially available drones(yes, it cost me a fortune, drones weren’t so accessible back then).

Last summer I was flying my drone over the shore, looking into my screen and admiring the stunning sunset and the city skylines visible in the distance. It was such a special sensation of being there in the clouds, looking down on myself and on everything the world had to offer. In that moment I wanted to share that magnificent experience with other people, people that will never get the chance to be there physically, that will never get a feeling of what it feels like to view things from up there and even get to control where you head to.

So I asked myself: How can I share this experience with the world? Cause I already have the drone sending live images to my phone that is connected to the internet and through which I also control the drone. So how can I get other people to see and feel what I’m seeing and feeling now? How can I empower them to control the drone for a while and enjoy the beauty of flying?

That’s what motivated me to build such a product. A new way of traveling and experience flying remotely from anywhere in the world. Opening up infinite possibilities, locations, landmarks and stunning views to people. I know how to code so I started building, being a pioneer in this domain of drone remote flying and traveling. I set up my site: www.flyadrone.co and if fortune is by my side soon I’ll have things up and running. Take a look if you have the chance and send me a message anytime.

Thank you for reading and FLY HIGH my friends.
