Hey there! My name is Amanda, and I am a travel blogger and freelance writer. I have visited over 18 countries, and I’m very passionate about traveling authentically and making a minimal impact on the environment (and my wallet). I am currently based out of Vancouver, Canada, and I enjoy hiking in the Pacific temperate rainforests of British Colombia. In addition to being a backpacker and world traveler, I am an avid hiker and outdoorswoman.

My roots are in the heart of Northern Ontario, and I’ve always had a healthy curiosity, often wandering the forests that surrounded my home. I count myself lucky to have experienced and discovered the magic that grew there. Soon, I knew every rock and tree in that forest, and it seemed that my backyard had grown too small. At 17, I began one of my biggest adventures, moving to the big city (Toronto).
Since then, I’ve procrastinated through college, held down several stressful jobs, moved a thousand times, and discovered many things to be passionate about. After years of adding skills to my ever-growing resume, I rediscovered the only passion that had stuck with me throughout the years: exploration, adventure, and travel.

I love traveling with every fiber of my being.
I have an insatiable desire to explore mountain tops, follow dark alleyways, and explore never-before-seen places.
There is more to a country than the tourist attractions and the Tripadvisor top 10’s. I like to get to know a city, the vibe, people, and culture, save as much money, hit all the backroads, and make the best possible memories.
I stop and enjoy the little things going on all around me.
I take every opportunity for adventure that I see
I try and live my best life.
And now, im going to write about my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned as honestly as I can.

Please sit down, relax, and get inspired.
