About Amanda

Welcome to Postcards from Amanda! Thanks for visiting.

I am a Canada-based writer and editor. Please learn more about my professional work here.

A little about me

I am an American, originally from the midwest, and moved to Canada about 10 years ago to attend McGill University. After graduating with degrees in art history and political science, I worked in Quebec for over five years in marketing and sales and was a freelance writer on the side. I then met and married my Canadian husband, who is currently working in Chile.

I became fluent in French in order to work in Quebec and even studied Italian for two years in University. However, Spanish is the language I should have also studied, seeing as I will be spending quite a bit of time visiting Chile and travelling through Latin America in the upcoming months!

As a high school graduation gift, my middle school English teacher gave me Dr. Seuss’ “Oh the Places You’ll Go.” What a prophetic gift that turned out to be.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

    I love your blog and I also have a well cherished and received copy of “oh, the places you’ll go!” I love chile and Argentina. Both beautiful countries with fascinating culture. I look forward to reading more of your posts!

    Congratulations! Love what you’re doing, and thank you for sharing it with the world. I hope to travel through Central America someday, any chance you’ll be visiting there? If you’re going to Peru, I am somewhat acquainted with that country if you need a clue ’bout something. Buena Suerte!

    I’ll come too, if you don’t mind. To my great sorrow, or shame (or both) I never made it to South America, despite moving to Canada and living there for ten years! But that’s another story … Chile here I come (with you, vicariously, of course).
