Amanda joins our conversation from her new home in Argentina. Originally from a small town in Utah, she grew up driven to be the "perfect girl." Devout Mormon, straight A's, and a self-proclaimed tomboy. She tells how a single question changed her life forever, opening her eyes to a world of possibilities, and instilling a strong desire to live and work abroad. After a decade of working for United Nations with UNICEF and the World Food Programme, her work has taken her to dozens of countries. Her story includes topics of: certainty, self-doubt, poverty, open-mindedness, critical thinking, education, colonialization, life, death, news, social media, culture, communication, politics, international relations, the importance of cursing, and finding beauty in your daily life.
