Interesting Fact
Prisca recently discovered a new passion for canoeing, and it’s been quite the adventure! This past summer, she embarked on a week-long journey along Scotland’s Great Glen Way. She paddled through 124 kilometres of canals and lochs by day and camped under the stars by night. The wild camping part was particularly eye-opening—she learned that a tent doesn’t come with room service or a hot shower. Who knew that a sleeping bag and a few midges could make for such an unforgettable experience?
