Do you love paddling? So do we. Young Explorer Amber Valenti shares five terms every paddler knows.   

Valenti received a Young Explorers grant in 2013 for the Nobody's River Expedition. In the summer of 2013, Valenti and three other women with an affinity for silly antics and a love of falling off the map undertook a documentary expedition on one of the world's greatest and least known free-flowing rivers, the Amur. They traveled and documented sections of this last-of-its-kind river, from the remote Mongolian headwaters to a massive delta in Russia.
