This episode of She Explorers is brought to you by Orru Kayak. They design folding

kayaks that can go virtually anywhere thanks to their lightweight and folding design.

I'm Gail Strav and you're listening to She Explorers. This episode is about

women outdoors online and while that sounds a little like an oxymoron, with the accessibility of technology,

we are never too far from an Instagram post or a Snapchat story. And the communities that form online are constantly changing.

that I think about frequently too because it continues to pop up in various places.

So definitely resonated with a lot of people I think.

This is Heather of just the Colorado gal and I was one of those people the piece resonated with two years ago.

I'll let her tell you what it was about.

I was creating the internet as my husband likes to say
