Interview with Eli Segev
I grew up on a lake, which meant swimming in the summer and rowing in the spring and fall. As a teenager I did hiking with the Boy Scouts. When I moved to Boston, I learned how ski - this is something that I can look forward to in the winter. My introduction to downhill skiing was with Chiltern, when a group formed to take ski lessons at the Nashoba Ski area. In the summer I go between the ocean and the mountains of New England, swimming, kayaking and hiking.
As an urban person I find that it is absolutely necessary to leave town and go out to nature in all seasons and do any activity that is appropriate to the season. It is good to the soul.
Start small and don't try to do anything too ambitious in the beginning. You will find your bearing and your strength and figure out what you like. Bring a friend along.
I think that my first GO excursion was to the Zealand Falls in the White Mountains. It was a spectacular Fall hike.
I like the range of events offered by GO and the people that I meet.
Massachusetts has a lot to offer to an outdoorzy person for every season. It has great green spaces to hike, streams, rivers and the ocean to kayak and swim.
It is a long list of places to visit and do different things. I just don't have the budget. I think that I would start with the Canadian Maritime Provinces, where I have never been, and do hiking in the summer.
Hike to a beautiful pond and go skinny dipping in the pond.
I don't know his name - he is always there in the gym :-)
