Hi there! I'm Amanda. I'm 25 years old. I couch surfed a couple times in Korea and Japan last spring and I had some really great experiences so I'm back to hopefully meet more locals and create good memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's awesome to meet new people in new places and exchange cultures. I've learned so much about so many places just from building relationships with people.

Interests

• writing

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading - 'On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean' Vuong and 'Wrong Place, Wrong Time' by Gillian McAllister

Top (most listened to) Music Artists - Doja, Nicki, Doechii, Rico, SZA . . . on the flip side I listen to a lot of Still Woozy, Glass Animals, OneRepublic, The Neighborhood and miscellaneous alt rock/folk type music

Lately I've been into dark comedies, especially ones that act as a sort of commentary on geopolitical/socioeconomic hierarchies and wealth disparities

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied environmental sciences for my bachelor's degree, so if that's a topic you're interested in I would love to share any insights that might be helpful. Planning to pursue a PhD in environmental geology.
