Maya Chang
Originally from Nepean, Ontario, Maya first ventured west to Victoria to study at the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Her training led her to Vancouver to pursue film and finish a degree in Political Science and Music at the University of British Columbia.
After completing a performance contract in Dawson City, Yukon as a can-can dancer at Diamond Tooth Gerties, her passion for travel blossomed. Several trips to New Zealand, the Yukon, Central America and across parts of North America followed but Lytton BC is where she now resides. Lytton is a small village steeped in First Nations history situated along the banks of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers. Its natural canyon landscape lends itself to creativity and an appreciation for nature.
She is a professional Whitewater Raft Guide, certified Hatha Yoga teacher and has many years of experience in the tourism industry. Maya is a strong advocate and supporter of live music and the arts, most recently coordinating and booking music for the Lytton River Festival, Desert Daze Festival and the Summer Music Series. Her friends and family's adventurous lives continually feed her natural curiosity in people, culture and healthy lifestyles.
