Sandy’s mission was inspired by German canoeist Oskar Speck who, between 1932 and 1939 paddled a folding kayak from Germany to Australia. Sandy plans to retrace his steps as best she can and hopes that her journey will inspire more female adventurers and highlight the importance of taking care of our oceans.
