Michelle's heart was captured last year when she came to New Zealand for the first time to paddle in our stunning blue water and epic rivers. She's back for the second year in a row to do some kayak teaching and is super stoked to be back here so soon after her first trip. Originally from Squamish, British Colombia, she has found that New Zealand is her home away from home and can't believe how lucky she is to have found such an amazing community of paddlers here.
