Maude Raymond’s home is where her dog is and they are usually hanging out together in her beloved VW Westfalia camper van. After a long, awful year of terrible luck, injuries and personal setbacks Maude decided to simplify her life so she got a dog a van and hit the road. As a very creative person, she realized that she needed less to create more and that the nomad life offered her an opportunity to do just that. To be completely free to learn what she does and doesn’t want in life.
Maude Raymond was born to be a champion athlete. Her dad was a former motocross pro, her uncle part of the Canadian Ski Team, and her brother, one of the innovators when it comes to rails. Maude’s first chance at athletic greatness was on the Canadian National Diving Team, which she eventually quit to move to Whistler and pursue a skiing career. Things happened fast, and Maude and I talk everything from being a woman in the industry to helicopter crashes, to over 20 knee surgeries, and so much more. Don’t miss this one, as Maude has a lot to say.
