This episode of She Explorers is brought to you by Oru Kayak.

They design folding kayaks that can go virtually anywhere

thanks to their lightweight and folding design.

Stay tuned for later in the episode.

We talk with Stephanie Wright, a member of the She Explorers team

about how the Oreukaiac helps her merge her city life

with her outdoor life.

I'm Gail Strav and you're listening to She Explorers.

An ode to every woman who's ever been called outdoorsy.

You a natural resource.

You who feels like the best version of herself at sunset when the air is crackling in the

dirts between your toes.

You who has the sun's rising, promises to be quiet and let the dawn share its secret with the day on its own.

You who at high noon have almost but not quite dared the sun to burn your skin,

imagining the cracked patina leather it would someday become, signs of a life

outside. But you know better than to dare the sun anything. You who have pulled on crusty socks unceremoniously and brushed off those who notice.

You who know that all the bruises and scrapes from scrambling and rambling are the best because they remind you of being alive.

Someone may even point it out, how'd you do that?

And you shrug your shoulders because you honestly don't know.

You who have shed tears on the trail without really knowing why. You who look

at the mountains and think they must know everything about you, and you who look at the sea and

are sure that it doesn't care about you at all.
