Description
Hey i'm Maddy from Eastern Canada.
I’m an easy going person with a taste for adventure, I’m usually up for a spontaneous plan especially if it's in the outdoors.
I love exploring new cities but mainly my love is for nature which is why I gravitate towards the coasts/ocean. I’ve mostly lived in smaller communities or small cities and I enjoy that lifestyle and connectedness.
I have experience in gardening and garden landscape/maintenance. As well as experience on small farms, and with sheep, donkeys, chickens. I love to be outdoors and finding work that allows me to do so is what I strive for.
Some of my hobbies include: hiking, swimming, reading/writing and creating art.
I’m a singer so I love to share that and I love meeting other musicians, I’d also love to learn any instruments! I am keen to be introduced to different hobbies in the arts or outdoors, I plan to use my time abroad to try as many new things as I can!
