I first fell in love with kayaking when I was a ten-year-old girl at a cottage with my family. Being ten years old and having a sibling meant that I got very little time to myself, and alone time was something I highly valued. I remember the incredible sense of independence I felt out on the water, and while I had to stay close to the shore because my dad said so, I felt free.
