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

What outdoor activities make you feel like you can tap into being a kid again.

My favorites are surfing and skiing.

And that's not to say I'm amazing at either one of them.

It just allows me to tap into that.

This is Meina Akby.

Mina is an electrical engineer turned accidental outdoor entrepreneur.

Through her company Black Outdoor Adventures,

one of the special things she helps her clients do

is to tap into their inner child.

Surfing, I'm crap at, but it's just something about getting up and then falling and then

just trying it again and you're just all giggly and happy about it.

That allows me to tap into my inner child and you know kind of forget everything else but that moment.

And then also skiing is the same.

I, you know, when I'm coming down a mountain,

there's this, I tell people I describe it like

to being to my own church.

I almost feel those weird spiritual sense that you get just like cruising down a mountain and

you're just at peace. There's this huge Zen of doing that that I get and I love I love that feeling feeling but also just just hanging out by a campfire is also a huge for me.

The thing I love about the surfing and the skiing is that like there's literally nothing else you could be doing at the same time as that.

There's no multi-tasking.

Yeah. And as an entrepreneur you need that.
