CURRENT MISSION

To go everywhere

ABOUT ME

I never know quite what to say about myself in these little boxes! There's so much that makes up a person, and not all of it is relevant information when seeking to convince someone you're a trustworthy person.

Well, my name is Amanda, and I'm from Canada.
I'm not an outgoing person, but I love meeting new people. My goal since coming to China is to explore as much as I can. I want to ride bikes and go swimming and get lost in dark caves and climb mountains!

PHILOSOPHY

Music is life.
Travel is living.
Living is experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
