So far you’ve only been introduced to one member of our trio, so I think this is a great opportunity to tell you all the dirty details about our one and only Amanda Ammon.
Amanda has blonde hair and blue eyes and loves long walks on the beach... :) Although this is all true let's get to the better stuff:
Amanda is the oldest member of our team (not including our travel trailer). She graduated four years ago from McMaster University majoring in Anthropology, which is funny considering both Adam and I are University of Guelph students taking Biology. She came into this job though because of her love of animals and teaching. And now, after being on the road, she can probably tell you anything you ask of Ontario's reptiles.
We are lucky to have Amanda as part of our team because she has just come back from some worldly travels and has a lot of wonderful stories to share. In her travels she has been to New Zealand as well as South Korea where she worked as an ESL teacher.
Amanda loves to read! She will often be seen reading up on world news, or sipping her tea reading a good book. She is one of the most eco-friendly people I know, trying to keep her carbon footprint as small as possible: recycling and reusing whenever possible.
Fun Fact: Amanda so far this trip is that her shoulders are double jointed and she can actually circle her arms from the front of her to the back holding her hands together. Which I find quite fascinating being a gymnast myself and not even coming close to that!
Amanda has been a really great person to get to know this trip. She is very kind hearted and will come up with the best jokes to brighten my day!
