Description
Hi everyone! :) My name is Amanda and I am a HUGE fan of language and cultural exchange. I grew up in Malaysia but am currently based in Canada. I am very much into slow travel, as it has allowed me to meet and connect with so many amazing people and experience so many different local cultures. Cultural exchange is my topmost favourite way of learning and seeing the world- the memories and friendships I've gained from it have been nothing short of incredible and priceless.

Languages: I'm quite a language geek myself, and would be more than happy to help you practice or teach you those that I speak!

Musical: I like to play the piano when I can! Picked up a bit of ukulele recently as well.

Childcare: I worked with kids as a university student, and have volunteered at a kids language center, a junior youth camp, and a childcare center. What can I say, kids are so much fun to hang out with :D

Cultural Exchange: I absolutely LOVE talking to people of other cultures! Their stories never cease to amaze me and I don't think it's something I can ever get tired of.

Elle s'est intégrée facilement à notre famille et nous a… read more

I stayed with this lovely family for a month and I'm so glad I did! It was one of the best experiences ever! Oceane Sun is a very smart, funny, and sweet child to hang out with, it was like having a little sister. Reyna and Pablo are super friendly and easy to talk to, I personally learned a lot from them. They showed me places in Saint Jerome,… read more

It was wonderful to have Amanda here with us for 10 days. She is a hard worker and eager to participate in all the
tasks at hand. She was a huge help in so many ways and made all the jobs go faster, including digging potatoes, exterior staining on the house and lots of cooking. She is curious and observant, and doesn't hesitate to ask questions.… read more

I stayed with Tony and Marion for 1.5 weeks and it’s gotta be one of the most enriching experiences ever! They know loads about gardening / growing vegetables (they grow the juiciest tomatoes!!). Marion is such a good cook (thanks for the good food!) and I will for sure miss the zucchini crepes/fritters we had. It’s a lot more than just exchanging… read more
