Hello, I am Amanda!

My husband and I are both grad students who love coffee and board games! Our favorite date is sharing a latte and playing Dominion at a local coffee shop. I am extroverted and love serving others in fun ways. Over the few past years I've been learning about and growing in satisfaction and grace. I am a Christian and love talking about faith with others and learning about different views, beliefs, and cultures. I have been blessed to travel to several countries in my 24 years of life, my favorites being Japan and Germany!

I love simple and thoughtful things. ♥️ Looking forward to swapping with you!
