THE NEXT CHAPTER 🪂

Tomorrow, I’m joining Skydive Dubai. 🇦🇪

For now, I’ll be working with the Manifest Team. It might not be exactly where I imagined I’d be at this stage, but it’s another step forward.

My goal hasn’t changed.

I want to become a skydiving instructor. 🪂

I need to work, save, learn, train, get my ratings, spend more time in the wind tunnel, and keep building myself as a skydiver.

I don’t know exactly when I’ll be back in the sky or how this journey will unfold from here.

But one thing I know for sure…

I’m not stopping.

This is not the end of the dream.
This is another step towards it.

See you in the sky soon. 🪂❤️

500+ Jumps Later… Still Chasing the Same Dream 🪂❤️

Every dream has a beginning. Mine started with one jump. 🪂

From wondering how to do more jumps, to dreaming of becoming a skydiving instructor, to finding a way to make skydiving a part of my life forever… every decision I made brought me closer to this dream.

Today, with 500+ jumps behind me, the dream is still alive. And the journey is far from over.

But this isn’t just about skydiving. ❤️

Maybe you’re chasing a dream of your own. Maybe you’re struggling, feeling lost, or wondering if all your efforts will ever be worth it.

Keep going. Your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You just have to keep believing in what you’re working towards.

I’m still chasing mine. And I’d love to have you along for the journey.

🪂 Follow @flying_chef_ and join our community. Let’s chase our dreams together, one step — or one jump — at a time.

What’s the one dream you’re not ready to give up on? Tell me in the comments. ❤️👇

Not Every Place Is a Packing Area 🪂😅
Sometimes, You Pack Where You Least Expect It 🤫🪂
Who said packing a parachute always happens in a packing area? 🪂😅

This isn’t a technical packing tutorial, just a little glimpse into my skydiving life. Something similar happened to me before while travelling, when I had to pack my parachute at an airport. Sometimes, this journey brings unexpected situations and experiences you never planned for.

Can’t reveal the location just yet 🤫, but let’s just say there are more places to explore, more experiences to collect, and more stories to share!

Want a proper technical video explaining parachute packing? Let me know in the comments.

And if you want to experience skydiving, learn something new, or just talk about life in the sky, my DMs are always open. 🤙

One jump, one experience, one story at a time.

I Made It to Skydive Dubai. But I’m Still Chasing My Dream. 🪂

Success means different things to different people.

For someone, success is being able to have three meals a day without worrying about tomorrow. For someone else, it’s landing a dream job, buying a house, or achieving something they’ve worked their whole life for.

At the end of the day, we’re all fighting our own battles, trying to improve our quality of life and get closer to the life we dream of. ❤️

For me, joining Skydive Dubai is a huge achievement. Every message, every wish, and every congratulations I received means a lot to me. I’m genuinely happy and proud to be part of this amazing team.

But sometimes, even when life looks successful from the outside, there’s still a dream waiting inside you.

My dream was never just to work at a drop zone. I want to become a skydiving instructor. I want to jump every day, learn, grow, and build my life around the sky.

Today, I’m the person who sends people up to experience their dreams. I watch them come back with smiles, excitement, and unforgettable memories. And honestly, I’m happy to be a part of their experience.

But deep inside, I’m still the skydiver waiting for my turn.

Thailand was a big part of my journey. When that chapter unexpectedly ended, my dream didn’t end with it. Life forced me to take a different route — to work, earn, survive, and slowly find my way back towards what I truly want.

I’m grateful for where I am today. I’m proud of how far I’ve come. But I also know that what looks like success to the world might still be a work in progress for you.

This isn’t the end of my dream. It’s just another chapter of the journey.

To everyone who congratulated me, supported me, and continues to believe in me — thank you. You have no idea how much it means. ❤️

One day, I’ll be back in the sky, not just watching others fly, but working towards the dream I started this journey for.

Until then, I’ll keep showing up, keep working, and keep chasing that dream. One day at a time. 🪂❤️

Dubai is not Easy for me ✌🏼

I Was Sending Everyone to the Sky… Except Myself. 🥹�

Every day, I was sending people to the sky… while standing on the ground, watching them live the dream I was missing. 🥹🪂

After Thailand’s skydiving operations shut down, life took an unexpected turn. I had to find a job, start over, and put my dream of becoming a skydiving instructor on pause.

Joining Skydive Dubai brought me closer to the sky, but working in manifest and watching people jump every day wasn’t easy. I was happy for them, but deep down, I was waiting for my turn. ❤️

And yesterday… I finally got back up there. 🥹

It wasn’t just another jump. It was a feeling I can’t fully explain. A reminder of who I am, what I love, and why I started this journey in the first place.

This is not the end of my dream. This is me starting again. 🪂🔥

And now, let’s bring back the skydiving series! 🎥

Who wants to join me for a skydive? 👀
Comment “JUMP” or DM me! Let’s make some memories in the sky.

The journey continues… one jump at a time. ❤️

A Hidden Gem in the UAE… But Watch Out for Parking! 🇦🇪

📍 Al Suhub Rest Area & nearby dam, Sharjah, UAE 🇦🇪

Looking for beautiful mountain views, a peaceful sunrise or a stunning sunset? 🌄 This place is definitely worth adding to your UAE travel list!

The views along the way are beautiful too. ❤️ I’ll share more of the scenic drive in another video!

⚠️ A few things to know before you visit:

🚗 Parking fees: Please check the parking rules and charges before you go. I stayed for around 1 hour and a few minutes, but was charged for 2 hours.

💸 My parking expense: I paid over AED 40 in total for parking at the rest area and the nearby dam. The amount may depend on the parking location and duration.

📱 Online payment: If you can’t pay through the website, you may need to download the relevant parking app and pay through it, as I did.

☕ Cafe spending: Check the latest parking terms before visiting. If you’re planning to use the cafe or qualify for any parking benefit, confirm the minimum spend and conditions first.

🎉 Public holidays: Parking arrangements may vary, so check beforehand. Keep in mind that popular places like this can get crowded during holidays.

✨ My tip: Enjoy the scenery, plan your visit and check the parking charges so you don’t get caught off guard!

💬 Have questions about Al Suhub Rest Area or the nearby dam? Drop them in the comments, and I’ll help as much as I can.

📌 Save this reel for your next UAE road trip and share it with your travel buddy!

I Didn’t Give Up On My Instructor Dream

“So… what happened to your skydiving instructor dream?” 🪂

I know some of you have been asking why you haven’t seen many skydiving videos from me recently.

The truth is — I didn’t give up on the dream.
I’m just taking a pause.

When my skydiving company in Thailand closed, everything changed suddenly. I had to leave, find a new job, move to a new country, and start again.

As much as I love skydiving, I also need to survive, earn, and save enough to fund my instructor training and my life.

So I took the opportunity I had in Dubai. ❤️ Joined skydive Dubai in a different Job role .

Now the skydiving season has started again, but I still haven’t been able to jump yet. And yes, sometimes it hurts watching the season begin while I’m standing on the ground.

But this is not the end of the dream.

This is my pause. My rebuilding phase. My recovery time.

I’m working, saving, learning, and preparing for the next opportunity.

And whenever that opportunity comes…
I’ll restart — with even more power. 🪂🔥

If you’re also in a phase where your dream is taking longer than expected, remember:

A pause is not quitting. Keep building. Your time will come. ❤️

I Didn’t Quit. I’m Just Pausing the Dream
