Location: Leerdam, Netherlands
Born and raised in Italy, life brought me to the Netherlands some years ago, and that's where I currently live and work.

My love for the outdoors and water (and an idea of my girlfriend!) brought me to try kayaking for the first time during Covid. Not even a couple of months later and I was already taking lessons to improve my skills, and searching for my very own kayak. TRAK turned out to be the perfect boat for me: I wanted something I could use on the Dutch rivers and channels, or bring with me on my frequent trips to Sicily, where I wanted to explore its beautiful coasts and islands. Especially those little, hidden gems you can only reach by sea! I am now continuing my training with the goal of becoming an expedition guide.

My passion for paddling and the TRAK, and the love to share my enthusiasm, naturally brought me to become a Pilot. I'm always happy and looking forward to meet other passionate kayakers, hear and share experiences, and especially to share insights on how to get the best out of this beautiful boat and unleash your freedom!

It was a reminder of what folding expedition kayaks do best: remove logistical barriers, make last-minute travel possible, and transform...
