I start a new job tomorrow! So I've committed myself to finishing this blog post, since new jobs have a way of taking over. The past five weeks have been a whirlwind between jobs. I went to the US for almost two weeks, moved into my new apartment in Rotterdam (more on that later!), and spent a week adventuring in Mallorca! A good friend of mine, Inma, moved to Mallorca a couple months ago. With her apartment in Palma as a convenient home base, I hopped on buses every morning to explore different sides of the island...

Sadly, my time in the Netherlands is coming to a close, but only exciting adventures lie ahead. In September, I'm moving to Antwerp (Belgium) to work at Flanders Hydraulics and continue my coastal engineering world tour. During June, July, and August I'll be wandering around Europe with a medley of friends.
Stay tuned this summer for a resurgence in posts! I hope to post casually every few days with anecdotes, photos, and of course, kayak posts. I recently purchased a tablet, so I'll be posting updates from the road. The posts won't be as detailed as usual, so expect more of a stream-of-consciousness.

I'm hoping to paddle at least once in each country: Norway - the Western Fjords and the Lofoten Islands with Bailey Belgium - near Antwerp with Emilia Portugal - the Algarve with Henk Jan, Emily, and Brian Spain - North Coast and Barcelona with Emily and Brian Ireland - Maybe a quick dip in Dublin with Emily France - Provence and Les Calanques in Marseille with Emily and Alice Switzerland - Maybe another paddling trip on a mountain lake with Henk Jan, Emily, and Sara Italy - Cinque Terre, Sardinia, and Corsica with Emily If you happen to know of good sea kayak rental companies in (or near) any of these regions, please let me know. It's hard to find quality sea kayaks for rent. A lot has gone into organizing this trip, including:
