Full name?

Wout Leenaerts

How do I pronounce your name?

Where are you from?

A beautiful Belgian city surrounded by water called ‘Lier’.

Where are you going?

I have no destination, only a direction. And currently, that’s forward.

I have no goal (no record to break, no distance to cover, no point to prove) other than to enjoy meandering around.

What kind of kayak are you paddling?

Rockpool Taran 18

How long have you been kayaking?

I started kayaking 8 years ago.

Do you even have money for all that travelling around?

I try to travel on a tight budget: human powered transportation, sleeping in a tent and relying on the kindness of strangers for some small luxuries.

In my day-to-day life I work as a postman. That way I saved up enough money to be able to undertake these adventures.
