It has been a dream of mine, to be able to travel the world with a folding kayak so I can roam and explore remote exotic locations to my heart’s delight. Recently, I acquired my TRAK 2.0 folding kayak on an Island in the Gulf of Thailand. Through supportive online TRAK videos and in person mentoring by the TRAK team many months back, I was able to confidently and expediently assemble the kayak by myself on a beach on Koh Tao in southern Thailand for the first time.

 



While exploring the shoreline of this isolated island, I felt truly blessed and grateful in how kayaking has enriched my life, giving access to often inaccessible shores. I paddled through a sea of vibrant aqua and turquoise hues, beaching at coral beaches to snorkel. I call this snorkel-yakking. I love living expansively and exploring the mysterious unknown and by paddling on large open bodies of water, my life feels expansive and it feels even more expansive when the mystery of what is found beneath my hull is revealed through snorkelling along rocky shores and over coral reefs. The world is my playground is a motto I use often, and this playground has become expansive and attainable in my TRAK 2.0 portable kayak!

 



BONUS: Kayaking in Thailand is easily followed-up with a healing, affordable Thai massage for aching muscles! Life is good!!
