Personal story

I was born and raised in Ireland till the age of 8 , when our family decided to move to Ecuador as volunteers,we arrived in Tena a small jungle town where our family was introduced to white water rafting with the first company in the area.I started going down rivers on sit on top kayaks at the age of 11, and at the age of 16 our family started our own rafting company, and has now been operating for 11 years.Over this period of time me my brothers and my dad have been jungle and raft guides , safety kayakers and explorers of new rivers and destinations around Ecuador.
