Girls at Play Whitewater Kayaking in Mexico
In and around Mexico
Wanting to better my kayaking skills and escape the winter cold of the northeast US I booked a whitewater kayaking trip in Mexico. The trip is run by renowned kayaker Anna Levesque through her Girls at Play Program and takes places on several rivers in Mexico. I went to learn how to kayak better but I found that I learned just as much off the water as I did on.
