2018
Living in the Netherlands, member of a local paddling club, and making use of my new sea kayak. The year has started with a trip to New Zealand and some local pool sessions to brush up on technique!
2017
Finishing up my time in Belgium and starting a life in Rotterdam, the Netherlands! Started out the year with a nice trip to the Canary Islands. Joined a local paddling club and paddled in many new places around the Netherlands, including an overnight trip in Friesland. I also bought a new (purple!) boat at the end of the year, so I'm really looking forward to 2018!
2016
Living and working in Belgium, piecing together kayaking trips whenever possible! The kayaking community is rather small here, so if you're a Belgian kayaker, I'd love to hear from you :)
2015
Wrapping up the second half of a year of coastal research in the Netherlands. Trips to Croatia, France, and Norway for kayaking. Started a new job in Belgium, and now farther away from kayaking opportunities than ever before.
2014
Nena is awarded a Fulbright Grant to study water management in the Netherlands, takes full advantage of the spring in California, and drives up the West Coast and across the US to Boston, kayaking along the way. Moves to the Netherlands and kayaks whenever possible. The Naked Kayaker website undergoes a major revamping thanks to a plethora of free time. Quitting your job is really great for blogging!
2013
Continued explorations of the Wild West.
2012
Big Purple arrives in California and the California kayaking adventures begin.
2011
A month in Nepal and spring break in Iceland. Too much working and not enough kayaking - Finished a Master's degree in the spring and moved to San Francisco for a new job in the fall (car-less and kayak-less).
2010
Thanks to a mean case of senioritis, the blog is born! Kayaking on all of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes, and climbing mountains in New Hampshire.
