I write about moving to foreign countries.

Hello!

I’m Amanda.

I was born WAAAAAAAYYYYY back in the early ‘90s. (Pre-Google. Man, I’m dating myself.)

But enough about my age.

I moved to Costa Rica in November of 2023, and I am loving the country and its people!

I’m a blogger, travel enthusiast, EFL teacher, and more who loves life too much to be pinned down to one particular place for long. People tell me I have a bubbly, friendly personality, and I hope that comes through in my writing!

My professional interests include Spanish-English document translation, blogging, SEO optimization, teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), building backlinks, freelance writing, copywriting, and anything to do with entrepreneurship.

On a personal note, my hobbies include art, writing, travel (hoping to hit Scotland in 2024!), and the occasional video game.

I have a Siberian husky named Sakari, who is a bossy red ball of fluff that I love to pieces, and my dream is to travel the world, learning new languages and cultures, while earning a living from my blog and my translation/interpretation business.
