Best River story?
Running the Rufiji river in Tanzania was probably the most epic, yet scary river trip of my life. 8 days crossing 20,000 hippos with 1 full attack, a ripped raft and 16 hours of repair.
Favourite rafting trips?
There are a few rafting trips that i really loved that unfortunately lost to dams: The Omo, The Coruh to name a few. I think the Zanskar has a good combination of whitewater, remoteness, and one hell if a spectacular canyon.
Anywhere still on the rafting ‘bucket list’?
The Watut is the next river for sure on my bucket list
