Présentation
À propos de moi
I love reading, traveling, and post cards.
I am currently on a (hopefully) never ending around the world trip. I am keeping a record of my travels at amandaroundtheglobe.com and am on youtube at Amanda Round the Globe (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvs9qpKEYJ66PLgtFN505_w )
I am vegan and do not drink alcohol, but I love coffee!
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I've been using couchsurfing to make friends and stay in a home-y type of environment while traveling. I am now about to hit two years on the road - I've visited over 24 countries in the past two years!
Centres d'intérêt
I love being active - hiking, biking, swimming, running. I ran the Napa Valley Marathon in March 2015. I also love coffee and healthy food! I am a vegan which I think makes traveling a little more adventurous. :)
I am also a big fan of reading, making new friends, sudoku, chamomile tea, dark chocolate, and bread.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres
I have what others have described as the worst taste in movies. My favorites include Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, etc. I also love Hunger Games :)
I love audio books, mostly personal development. I am currently listening to Brene Brown's "The Power of Vulnerability."

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez
I am learning German and French, and would love to talk with people who know these languages. I currently know about 2% of the German language (that's what Duolingo says:)). I took 5 years of Spanish classes in school, but that was a while ago, so I would like to get back to knowing Spanish. Conversation exchange would be awesome!
I also have a very extensive knowledge of wine (from working in the wine industry for years), and a good knowledge of nutrition as well. I can cook a mean vegan dish!
Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes
Healthy vegan food, crazy couch surfing stories, good travel stories :)
