Lucy is now preparing another paddle adventure, but this time in a canoe! You can read all about this trip here: https://passageadventures.org/canoeing-the-yukon/

At 17 I completed a certificate IV in outdoor recreation and started my career as an outdoor educator. I led multi day trips in a variety of adventure sports, including kayaking. I spent time as a program director for outdoor education programs and these experiences gave me the kind of organisational skills needed to put together a trip like this. In 2009, I traveled to Vancouver and laid eyes on the islands in the southern part of the Inside Passage for the first time. Since that moment, kayaking the Inside Passage has been a dream of mine.

I have completed multiple kayaking marathons in Australia and have learned huge amounts about myself and the determination, planning and training needed to complete the kind of challenge that we are undertaking. I truly believe in the importance of challenge provided by adventure, and I know what connection with nature can teach people about the environment, ourselves and the true responsibility we have. I have a Bachelor of Sustainability, majoring in Social Science, an interdisciplinary course focused in the areas of society, environment, economics and law. I have a deep understanding of both the social and environmental challenges our world face and I will continue to do everything in my power to learn, share and fight for a more sustainable life on earth.
