Born in the UK, now living in the Netherlands with a few years in Prague along the way, and married to an American, I consider myself a true international.   I am proud to have friends, family and colleagues all over the world.

This blog is a place for me to share some of my hobbies, namely, cooking, Stand Up Paddling and travel.

SUP is fairly new in Europe. There is a lack of information on where to SUP and the basic information you need to paddle somewhere new.  I document some of my trips to help others get on the water easier, from launching locations to nearby facilities.

I also have a dedicated website http://www.racheloakley.com, that is focused on my professional work in Product Management, Marketing and Strategy.
