Hi there! My name's Amanda. I just finished up my studies in English Lit & Graphic Design at CU Boulder. I'm planning on traveling for a little bit for my post-grad life.

CURRENT GOAL: Move out of my parent's basement. But slowly.

I enjoy being around people, but I value having one-on-one time with a person more. Small groups are ideal! I'm not a decisive person, so I'm easy going with plans. I'll work my schedule around your's, so that it's convenient for both of us.

I'm very food oriented. I love spending time with people over food: going out and trying new food or cooking a meal. I can't cook much but I can bake some killer desserts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way of being getting to know a culture, and lets me connect with locals. Or even introduce me to other curious-like minded people. I generally like being around people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and can help them with their English, as well as bake some killer sweets. I make a great Instagram Husband too (video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFzKi-o4rHw).

Also, let me know if you want me to bring something from my hometown (portable and small) and I'll gladly share it with you! Just tell what your aesthetic is and I'll take care of the rest.
