Hey Reader! A warm welcome to my life page.
Hi, I’m Madhuri Suryawanshi, the voice behind MaddyThinks.ca.
I’m an Indian professional living in Canada, navigating life between two countries, two cultures, and many journeys in between. This blog is where I share real travel experiences – local & international, practical tips, and honest insights- especially for people traveling between India and Canada or adjusting to life after immigration.
Why I Started MaddyThinks
When I moved countries, I realized that most travel blogs don’t talk about the real stuff:
- airline baggage
- airport experiences that aren’t glamorous
- immigration-related travel stress
- credit cards, lounges, insurance, and checklists
- what actually goes wrong (and how to fix it)
I started MaddyThinks to document what I wish I had known earlier—not as a travel influencer, but as a working professional and immigrant managing travel alongside career, family, and responsibilities.
What You’ll Find on This Blog
On MaddyThinks.ca, I write about:
- International travel experiences (India ↔ Canada)
- Airline baggage rules & airport tips
- Airport lounges, credit cards & travel comforts
- Travel checklists for new immigrants & visitors
- Honest, practical travel advice – No hype
Everything here is based on personal experience, careful research, or both.
A Bit More About Me
Professionally, I work in IT and service management, which means I’m naturally structured, detail oriented, and practical. That mindset shows up in my writing – I like clear explanations, step-by-step guidance, and realistic expectations.
Travel for me isn’t about luxury or perfect photos. It’s about:
- making smart choices
- reducing stress
- and learning how to move through the world more confidently
