About Me

Hey! It’s Amanda from Turn of the World. I started my blog to share some more personal travel tips with the world! I grew up in New Jersey and always though that there was more to life than my home town. When I turned 22 I decided it was time to explore and saved all my pennies to travel the world for a year. That was 2 years ago and I haven’t stopped since. I find ways to work while I travel and make some money writing online to enable my travel-bug.
