Who am I?
I am Amanda, but I’m sure you’ve gotten far enough to figure that out! What you may not know, is that I’m a passionate swing dancer, that I love music; that I’m a plushy collector, that I love haute couture and vintage fashion; that I adore exploring the realm of design; that I’m a Marketing apprentice, that I sometimes think too much about random things, and that I dream to travel around the world.
Home base is in Montreal, Canada. (Yes, I am a French speaking Asian! Wa!) However, I’d like to think to myself that one day, I will be able to set up many many other home bases all around the globe.
I have always been fascinated by the world’s different cultures and enjoy learning languages. Places I dream to visit are Japan, Europe and more of China. Here’s a fun fact: I collect rocks from around the world; I want a piece of everywhere in the world in my room. =) I speak fluent English, French and Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin), and have taken learned somehwere in time some Spanish, Japanese, German and Korean. Thus, feel free to comment in any language you like! (I will have fun decoding your messages.)
So why “shoeBox”?
Since I was a child, I developed the habit to store memorable little items in shoe boxes. I put in birthday cards, Christmas cards, letters that my friends have written to me, pictures, small paper crafts, rocks, etc. Since I will talk about a vast range of things that are of interest to me in my blog, I decided to call it my shoeBox.
Where to now?
Two decades of existence, by all means, are barely enough to say I’ve finally grown up. No, this is a continuous process; and it better continue for at least another sixty good years! I have once been told that the destination doesn’t matter, but that in fact, the journey was the most important part. Every time I look back, I realize that wherever I am right now, it is never where I had expected myself to be several years ago. So why keep expecting? Indeed, I have been living life on-the-go and spontaneously, and have discovered that it is much more exciting this way! Now, I invite you so join me on this journey of discovery, to find out more about you, about me… and mostly, about the world.
