Hi I am Maddie, from the UK but living in Vancouver, Canada.

I love to learn! About people, languages, cultures, cooking, activities etc. Currently I'm learning about botanical plant health remedies :). I struggle to sit still, hence why I travel for 3 months of the year and focus the rest of my year on my business.

I believe very strongly that we attract what we radiate, and have been very fortunate to have met some truly amazing people throughout my life, making it one of the sole reasons I travel.

**I don’t use this as a dating app**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet real people from the locations I am visiting - to learn, share, laugh with strangers that will become friends.

I am lucky to have met such incredible people through this site already, and want to keep growing this lovely social circle.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every genre of music apart from country and screamer haha.

My favourite book that I read on repeat and use it as my mantra is ‘The Power of Now’. Adore it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a small company in Canada within a year of living here

Hitch-hiked Patagonia, which has now become an unhealthy addiction ahah!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always looking to improve my Spanish, I can help people learn English, I am a swim teacher so also can teach people to swim should they need!
Running a business means I have learnt a little bit of everything in the business world so always happy to share knowledge on that regard too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide help with English, share my stories, provide positive energy, and a good old adventure! I tend to invent new cooking styles when travelling, so let's see what we have in the cupboards, and create an invention!
