Sea-kayaking through the Sea of Cortez in Baja, Mexico
Evening Standard | June, 2017"If it wasn’t a school of manta rays jumping, it was a sea lion popping up to say hello, or perhaps the impressive rock formations, that provided a reason to slow our stroke and breathe in our surroundings. Sea kayaking in Mexico under the clear blue skies and in the crystal clear waters of the Sea of Cortez is an incredible escape. Looking to try my Devon-honed kayaking skills in a new landscape, I went on the Isla Espiritu Santo kayak and yoga trip with Sea Kayak Adventures in April."

Cuba on the Cusp of Change
Huffington Post | October, 2016"I was in Cuba for ROW Adventure’s seven-day people-to-people kayaking trip, one of the first trips of its kind since President Obama re-established diplomatic relations with Cuba last year....On our first day, we paddled for a couple of hours around the shallow bay in the late afternoon. There was nobody else on the water. Not a boat or kayak other than our own, just the birds and the wind."

What it's Like to Kayak with Orcas
Vogue | August, 2016"Time stops in British Columbia’s Inside Passage: Stretching from the northwestern edge of Washington State and extending into southeast Alaska, this coastal route weaves through thick wilderness where a day at sea includes roaming free with humpback whales and orcas. Towering trees stand erect against the haze of ambient cloud streams, and you can feel a steady, internal shift accruing, cementing a lineal connection to nature this landscape provides."

The Orca Alternative: Kayaking in Search of Killer Whales in the Wild
The Chicago Tribune | June, 2016"There are easier whales to see. The humpback, for example, puts on acrobatic displays annually in Maui. Along their 6,000-mile migration between Mexico and Alaska, gray whales can be spotted from shore. Curious sperm whales in the Caribbean have been known to approach whale-watching boats. Orcas, it turns out, are much less predictable quarry..."

"It's not just the first-ever people-to-people kayak tour of Cuba. It's likely the first time a group of Americans has been on these waters in a long time."

Paddle Among the Orcas of Johnstone Strait
Vacay.ca | May, 2016"TELEGRAPH COVE, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Have you heard the mermaids singing? I have, and they sound like pearly black orca whales calling to one another as their sleek dorsal fins slice through the water past my sea kayak. I first heard their song of the sea on a shimmering hot August afternoon in Johnstone Strait, a narrow channel in the northeastern part of Vancouver Island. Family groups (called pods) of orcas use this passage as an aquatic superhighway, speeding toward deeper waters farther offshore on their seasonal migratory odysseys. Their otherworldly vocalizations are called echolocation, and they use them to navigate, communicate and hunt in these cold, deep waters. From a nearby boat borne hydrophone I could listen to broadcasts of their conversations above the water’s surface as I paddled past."
