Hello,

My name is Maddi! I am a 24 year old yoga & fitness instructor from Canada who is on a journey around Asia currently. This is my first solo backpacking trip! I love yoga and fitness. I was born and raised in Calgary, AB, Canada. I completed my bachelor of health sciences degree in 2014 at the university of calgary and then worked for a couple years to save up for a backpacking trip. I have worked in healthcare, health research, occupational health, health safety in the oil & gas industry, and the yoga & fitness industry. I have done shorter trips to the US, Mexico, and Europe in the past but I am now adventuring through Asia on my first extended backpacking trip. I have begun my journey in India. I finished volunteering and living at Maa Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh, India from February to mid March for 6 weeks. I am now traveling to Nepal. I am excited to be involved with the couchsurfing network and to give back once I am back in my own home in Canada.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing to connect with like-minded people and to see the real, local perspective of every place I travel. I want to learn about culture, language, and the history of different cultures. I love to celebrate the differences around the globe and yet recognize the many similarities amongst us. I am also on a search for different medicines and healing modalities from around the globe. As I am actively building a career in Holistic Medicine & healing.

兴趣

I really love bass music and hula hoop dancing to bass music. I love to travel the world to experience new music festivals. I have attended Coachella, Sasquatch, Holy Ship, Shambhala, Bass Coast, Astral Harvest, Fozzy Fest. On my to do list includes: Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, Envision, Tribal Gathering, and Burning Man. Currently, I am backpacking India. I plan to continue backpacking India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka over the next 6 months.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love bass music and spend my summers in BC Canada attending electronic music festivals: Bass Coast, Astral Harvest, Shambhala music festival. I recently finished reading the Power of Now by Echkart Tolle in Rishikesh, India and found his book extremely impactful and powerful! I also recently read the Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz which was incredibly paradigm shifting. Those two books are my favourites right now!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I booked a one-way ticket to India with myself!

教，学，和分享

I would love to start learning Spanish.
As I am on a journey to collect Holistic & complementary medicine and healing from around the globe, if you are a therapist or a healer of any kind I'd love to learn from you.
I'd love to share my knowledge of yoga, fitness, nutrition, ayurveda, and holistic health as well.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am fluent in English and love to chat and listen to stories. I would be happy to teach English. I also teach hula hoop dancing, yoga (yin, hatha, vinyasa, restorative, aerial, kids), spin, barre, and fitness. I love movement. I am also a huge health nerd so I love talking about Holistic and complementary health. I would be happy to offer you private or group yoga and/or fitness classes. I am always down for an impromptu dance party as well!
