A little bit about Mathilde…

Growing up with a family of outdoor enthusiasts, I have always had a strong passion for the outside world and every living creature in it. My adventures have taken me around Australia and overseas, holidays that are often packed with as many outdoor activities as possible. Throughout my explorations, and during my university studies of Zoology and Ecology, I developed an even stronger passion for the protection of the environment. This has led to a career in conservation, and a keen interest in scientific research in the fields of ecology and environmental management.

Although I have been sea kayaking before many times, these experiences had not exceeded single day trips of longer than 4 hours to tropical islands and beaches before our big adventure. The beginning of 2018 marked the first time I did a multi-day trip! However, I was determined, trained hard and challenged myself to another level. Going on a three month kayaking expedition in a totally different part of the world was incredible, and I am so glad I embraced the opportunity to take an exciting leap out of my comfort zone.
