Adya Misra: The outdoors is for everyone

‘I like seeing people's faces light up when they are doing something they didn’t think they could do because I was the same.’ 'My name is Adya, I’m originally from Newcastle and I live in The Wirral. I’ve lived in many places over the years. My parents were first-generation immigrants from South Asia. Growing up I didn’t partake in outdoor activities; I began when my friend forced me to try kayaking while I was in Sweden. I’ve now become a kayaking coach and go five to six times weekly! I also do canoeing and paddle boarding because it's fun to try lots of things (and be bad at some things too)...' Adya takes us on a journey of trials and tribulations and back again.  Resources:
