Magaly has made Vancouver her home for several years, having studied business administration in her home country. Like many, she came to Canada with the goal of building a better life for herself and her family.

​

In her homeland, Magaly and her husband used to climb volcanoes, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of their surroundings. However, her move to Canada opened the doors to a completely new world of explorations. Magaly finds great pleasure in family camping,exploring the frontcountry, or venturing into the backcountry, making the most of the different seasons that this beautiful country offers.

In addition to enjoying these outdoor activities, she has discovered a passion for cooking. Exploring recipes and creating her own have become essential in her life. Her family, especially her little one, actively shares and enjoys this hobby, participating in the kitchen alongside her.

​

Magaly acknowledges that being an immigrant in a country with significant differences, such as language and climate, presents its challenges. However, she holds the belief that with effort, one can always find a home, no matter the location. For her, it is crucial to surround oneself with people who contribute to personal growth and provide support, whether by offering valuable advice based on their own experiences.

​

"This Maple Life" represents, for Magaly, a space where shared experiences can inspire and help as many people as possible. It is a place where the immigrant community can find mutual support, based on shared experiences, with the hope that these stories serve as a guide and encouragement for those building a new life in Canada.
