Tori Baird Talks About Loosing Our Canoe & What it Means to Paddle Like a Girl Baird Country Ep.2

Welcome to Baird Country, the podcast where outdoor adventure meets personal stories. In this episode, I sit down with a remarkable adventurer in her own right: my wife, Tori Baird.

Tori is the owner of Paddle Like a Girl, a platform where she offers introductory canoeing and backcountry workshops tailored for women. She's also the force behind the popular Instagram page "Tori Goes Outside," where she shares her outdoor escapades and inspires others to embrace nature.

During our conversation, Tori opens up about her journey, from her inspirations for founding Paddle Like a Girl to the realities of moving to a remote location and raising a young family there. She sheds light on her experiences as a mother, including embarking on remote canoe trips and winter camping adventures with a toddler and her fiveyearold son, who has disabilities.

Join us as Tori shares her insights into the challenges and joys of her unconventional lifestyle, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of family life, adventure, and the great outdoors. We also explore what it's like to be married to a professional adventurer and the dynamics of balancing our shared passion for exploration with the responsibilities of everyday life.

So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and get ready to be inspired by Tori's incredible experiences and her unwavering passion for the wild. Welcome to episode two of Baird Country.
