I am very honored to be presenting as part of a symposium put on by Sustainable Ely, in Ely Minnesota! The symposium features north woods expeditions and I will be one of many telling their stories throughout this summer-long program. Below is a brief bio of my presentation and the details for when and where! If you will be in Ely this August, I sincerely look forward to meeting you and sharing stories!
Description: "A Surprise Half Solo Superior Circumnavigation"
After four summers canoeing, and to answer the often-asked question of "what's next?", she devised the paddle around Superior of 2013 to be a fun summer vacation for her and her partner.
When he was called away for work, it became a huge personal growth opportunity as her first kayak trip and first night alone in the woods ever, turned into paddling over half of Superior solo, while facing a challenging illness, as the weather worsened and her family begged her to "just come home".
While telling her story, the presentation will range from themes on empowering young women, to practical suggestions for expeditions on Superior, to snafus, hard laughs and the incredible mind-numbing generosity of total strangers!
