hello.
I'm amanda, the burger abroad.
i travel the world full-time.
I'm a solo full-time traveler on the road for 5+ years with 1 bag of 5kgs. I travel nonstop by housesitting globally. I slowly wander the world, have mostly one-way conversations with animals & try to find interesting things to do between meals.
this is all about how i do it.
