CURRENT MISSION

Travel, enjoy and really live! Be bold, courageous and Do the impossible!

ABOUT ME

My name is Amanda. I am a cheerful, fun, and friendly American girl who loves to travel. I live with passion, excitement and enthusiasm. I am positive, optimistic, and goal-oriented. I dream big, try hard, and stay focused, constantly striving for success in every area of my life. I decide what I want to do and I go for it, no matter how impossible or unreasonable it seems. I believe that anything is possible if you want it bad enough, that if you hold on to your dreams and never give up you can live the life you imagine.

I came to New Zealand a year ago on a working holiday visa, filled with the spirit of adventure and a desire to experience a new and different culture. I wanted to explore the unknown and to challenge myself, to be bold and courageous and to face the world on my own. And this is exactly what I did. My original intention was to live in New Zealand for a year and then move on to Australia for a year. I traveled backpacker style for the first three months, then found a place to settle down, live and work. As it sometimes happens I met somebody very special while I was traveling and I have decided to stay in New Zealand longer term. Unfortunately the immigration process has been difficult and I haven't able to get a visa.

Instead of giving up and going home I have decided to find a way to make it happen. I am in Sydney on a visitors visa while I go through the process of applying for another visa so that i can return to my partner in new zealand. In the mean time I have the opportunity to continue on with my original dream, traveling in Australia. I will be experiencing life in australia until my visa is approved, or my visitors visa expires...which ever comes first. I intend to do a lot of walking, running, sight seeing and visiting the beaches while i am here. Outside of that I will be reading, studying and planning my return to NZ. I just want to stay busy and enjoy my time away.

I seek to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. I am not into partying. I wont judge you if you do, but its not my thing. I prefer to find healthier ways of having a good time. I like to stay active, eat good and be healthy. I am a qualified personal trainer and nutritional consultant so fitness is a part of who I am. I have been working within the health and fitness industry for the last six years. I also hold a bachelorâ

PHILOSOPHY

Stay positive. Be happy. Create the life of your dreams. Dont limit yourself. Be unreasonable. Live the life you imagine.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

The most amazing thing I have ever done was to love completely. But if that isn't exciting to you, I have also been bunji jumping, sky diving, back packing, and a few other exciting adventures too! When I was a bank teller I was robbed at gun point. I have run a marathon and competed in figure (which is a cross between womens bodybuilding and a Miss Universe.)

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I will help you in any way I can. I like to help and I want to contribute. We can practice speaking Spanish. I can help you improve your fitness. We can walk together, talk together,and be active together. I am a good lister, an awesome friend, and fun to be with. You can count on me to smile, stay positive, encourage and hopefully inspire.

I want to learn to dance, play the guitar, sing, rock climb, kayak, swim, learn sign language, and so much more...
