This is Amanda Christian. We’re talking about her journey out west from biking, walking, hiking,, to backpacking out west. Amanda shares her journey and how she became a full time video blogger. Amanda Christian and I went to the same elementary and middle schools, and even the same college believe it or not! Her brother told me to check out her Instagram handle one day, @amandaoutside, and I knew I had to interview her to get her full story! I have learned so much from Amanda’s site and I know you will too. It is jam packed with tips and tricks for how to navigate the wilderness, how to pack for a backpacking trip, how to plan out your food for backpacking trip, backpacking on a budget, and even has YOGA flows and meditations filmed in beautiful settings out west.
