Hi everyone! In case we don’t know each other, I’m Maddi. 

After struggling with anxiety since my childhood on the Norfolk coast, I’ve realised how significantly being in and around water helps to improve my physical and mental wellbeing.

Via Paddling Madeleine, I want to share my journey with you as I leave London life for West Sussex and seek out blue spaces across the UK, reconnecting with the natural world and the outdoors – finding adventure and escapism in, on and around water.
