Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach proudly shared on Instagram that she has conquered one of her greatest fears: the heights.

The beauty queen-turned-TV host didn't miss the opportunity to experience skydiving while on a vacation in Dubai.

The emirate is said to be one of the perfect spots in the world for free fall because of its breathtaking landscapes such as the Palm Islands, which can be seen from thousands of feet high.

Pia considered skydiving as one of the craziest decisions of her life, but attested that getting out of her comfort zone gives her fulfillment.

"It was so worth it!" she said in her Instagram post.

Then, Pia recalled, "I remember seeing people with their parachutes from the balcony of my hotel room and I thought "Kung kaya nila, dapat kayanin ko rin! Why would I let myself miss out because of fear?" so I just went for it!"

This experience has taught Pia that she can do anything if she put fear aside.

She recounted, "Believe it or not I was more nervous getting in the plane than actually jumping out.

"It's true what Will Smith said during his experience, "God put the best things in life on the other side of fear."

Pia concluded, "Ahhh! I can't believe I finally did it! I can't wait to fly again! Don't let fear stop you from anything!"
