When a few friends asked me to go white water rafting with them, I immediately replied a loud and “No!” Extreme sports for me are never appealing. Well, maybe just a little bit. But I am a scaredy cat and I can’t help being scared.

But when my friends started telling me about their wonderful and non-scary adventures with white water rafting, I was convinced. I knew that I had to go white water rafting to overcome my fears. And also because I needed a break from all the stressful situations I am currently under.

As soon as I made up my mind, I immediate booked for a rafting schedule. When my friends and I made it to the site, I was in awe. The river was gorgeous! Our white water rafting guide also told us numerous details about it that was both educational and interesting. Once I’m suited up and ready for rafting, I was psyched and shaking out of my skin.

Since I was still a beginner, I was taken to the Class III rapids. It is said to have low dips and bigger waves perfect for novices like me. As I was paddling and holding on for my dear life, my adrenaline was pumping. It was great! I can’t wait to do it again.
