Hi there ✨

A few years ago I started this profile with the hope that I’d make new friends from different walks of life and hear their stories. I feel grateful to report that I have. From Asia to Europe, I’ve met with many beautiful individuals at coffee shops — roaming cities and sharing stories, insight, and lessons learned. These moments have been invaluable.

So, here is a little about me today: I’m Amanda ✨ a writer from the USA and dreamer at heart. I love to read! I love to write! I love to get lost in music! I love to make friends and I love the ones I have! I’m in this life thing to take risks, give it my all, do what requires an insane amount of courage, and fall in love with people and moments and myself.

If feeling free is something you value and meaningful conversation is something you love, I welcome you in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share my world with you — all of my stories — and humble gratitude with you. In exchange, I hope to hear a few stories from you, too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The reciprocation of energy is important. You give, I will return. I’d love to establish a lifelong friendship.
