Hello all! I'm Amanda, 27, from Montreal. Music junkie, comic and cosplay geek, city kid. I'm lively and enthusiastic. I change my hair color insanely often. I plan to go back to school and continue learning and writing Film and TV scripts. I enjoy catching up with friends over drinks and going to as many gigs/concerts as possible. I love making new friends, enjoying new things, exploring different cultures, and experiencing life in different, crazy ways!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To expand my horizons and visit new areas around the world. To create new memories and make new friends. To absorb as much culture and experience as humanly possible.

Interests

I have many varied interests, including anything artistic: writing, photography, drawing, costume-making, etc. I am interested in traveling more and am hoping to do so through Couchsurfing! I love Gothic Fiction, Halloween and am a Cosplay artist. Any excuse to dress up is a good excuse! I love comics, conventions and thrift shopping as well.
