Providence, C'Est La Vie: Tim Gallaway at TEDxHoughton

Tim Gallaway is a self described kayak addict. Paddling all year round, rain, sleet, snow, gale, or sometimes even sun, he tries to spread the word of human powered travel on the water. He embodies the kayaker's cliché that small craft advisories are advising small craft to go out. A love and passion for the sometimes tumultuous water and wild places is what drives him as a human being. There is something special about these places and experiences that can only be found by traveling under human power. In May of 2012, after graduating from Lake Superior State University with a mechanical engineering degree, Tim embarked on a solo and self-supported kayak expedition that would take him from his home waters of the Great Lakes along historic water routes through Canada to the edge of the sea on the shores of the St. Lawrence Seaway following voyageur highways from the headwaters to the ocean. Along the way he met fishermen, diplomats, sailors, ski-bums, and long lost friends that he had never knew he had. Many people have said it was a trip of a lifetime but he would disagree, it was his first trip of a lifetime. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
