Hello! I'm Amanda, a 30-year-old Aussie who has been on the road since 2016. I left my job as a lawyer to explore the world and all that it has to offer. I love the outdoors, adventure, and travelling. Since then, I've travelled through Latin America, USA, Europe, Asia and Australia. I have spent two winters living in Niseko, Japan, have lived in Bali, Indonesia and Jordan.

I am passionate about living life to the fullest, love meeting new people and picking up new skills and hobbies. I enjoy freediving, scuba diving, snowboarding, yoga and hiking. I also love to cook (and eat). I am looking for anywhere by the coast as I've just wrapped up winter in Japan and would love to return to my happy place - the ocean!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other awesome adventurers and explorers. Some of my most memorable experiences have been through couchsurfing. I love being able to connect with locals and learn about a place through their eyes. I couchsurfed my way through Russia and had the best time meeting hosts who I still keep in touch with now!

Interests

Anything to do with the outdoors, nature or culture - I'm there! On top of that, I love chatting to people and talking about any great topics in the world!
