INSPIRIATION

Padme Nam Aitken

arrived to the world on the 12 of February 2009, bringing Love, Joy, and Inspiration to all that surround her. All my mates told me that when you get married, your life changes, this is not true, then i was told that when you have a baby, your life changes, this is true. Little Padme has given me so much Inspiration to do new things, complete projects that i had left for one reason or the other. I actually thought that having a child would make me calm down and not participate in so many extreme crazy sports, but Padme made me do the opposite, i started to Paddle waterfalls agian and much more.

One of the projects i started when Padme arrived is Called "AGUA", you could say that it is my social service to the paddling and rafting enthusiasts, it is a Blog Spot that gives detailed descriptions of the rivers of Mexico, where to stay, how to get a river shuttle and much more. All river enthusiasts can enjoy the information that i place on the blog by entering http://revistaagua.blogspot.com/

Alex

So most people arround the world fly in hot air balloons and so i am sure at this moment you ask yourself what is alex doing now, its all explainable, i always wanted to swim with Dolphins and so i made a deal with the manager of the CICI water park in Acapulco to teach his staff how to rappel so that they can check the material of the balloon in exchange to swim with Dolphins which is a reall cool experience. Climbing the hot air ballon was also an experience especially when it stands 45 meters high. good fun but dont try this at home.

How many people can you get on a bike

I have seen alot of crazy things in this world in which i remember seeing ten people climb out of a Volkswagon beetle which just amazed me, so i asked myself how many people could i get on a bike safely, we managed 5 people on the bike but i reckon we could get another two on there with no worries. jijiji

O.k. so this is how a river guide travels arround the world, you need your kayak in a bag so that you can say that it is a surf board, this way you do not pay extra on flights, In your kayak you load it with all of your river gear. when arriving to the check in desk, make sure that you do not have a look on your face that what you are carrying is heavy, just smile alot. you then need a small bag pack for your clothes and a pelican box for your compu and camera. happy travels and enjoy the rivers of the world.

Alex celebrated his 18th birthday in India on the river Ganges, where he worked for a period of seven months as a trip leader and safety kayaker on a number of rivers. He says that one of his favourite places in the world is the Golden Temple in the city of Amristar, also the home to the Sihk Gurus who invented Kundalini Yoga.

At the age of 18, Alex arrived in Kenya, East Africa to work as a trip leader on the many rivers arround the country. While here, Alex made the first descent of Mission Falls on the river Tana.

Over the years Alex returned to Kenya various times to run expedition trips and guide courses for the company, Savage Wilderness Safaris.

You cant get a better safari than simply floating down one of the many rivers of Kenya, observing all the nature in its natural habitat.

The River Orchy in Scotland is Alex´s home river. Alex grew up in Saudi Arabia for 8 years and on his return to Scotland his father sent him on a kayak course and this is how it all started. by the age of 11 years old, Alex had already trained up to be a raft guide, he was not only one of the first guides from Scotland but also the youngst.
