“Greatest weekend of my life. Without a doubt.”I went into it expecting an amazing trip, but I left with so much more than that. Xyd has a very rare ability to make people feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for from the moment you meet him. He listens, remembers the little things, and somehow manages to make you feel like you’ve known him for years.

“He plans like a mother, listens like a best friend, and takes care of you like a brother.”
“I hiked a mountain, saw the Rockies for the first time, tried foods I’d never had, watched my first NHL game, and experienced places that I’ll genuinely never forget.”
“Don’t go if you’re not ready to have the time of your life because I doubt any trip will ever be better than the one you’ll have with Maple & Snow.”

I'm the founder of Maple & Snow Experiences. I fell in love with travelling and connecting with people when I went on a backpacking trip across Europe. I've been hosted by the kindest people and I have experienced a lot more from talking to locals, trying out the hidden gems and local cuisine compared to staying at hotels and eating a tourist trap restaurants.

Now I'm building Maple & Snow to show you the absolute best experiences in a place with the best hospitality from our team. I've grown a lot as a person from my travels and now I am paying it forward. All you have to do is show up!

Currently working in tech and working towards finance. Ive been to 18 countries but whos counting? I care more about the amount of friends and connections ive made than the number of countries visited.
