Amanda "Not a Chance" Timeoni (born December 22, 1984) is an American long-distance hiker, blogger and farmer.

= Long-distance hiker = Timeoni, who goes by the trail-name "Not a Chance", has hiked more than 15'000 miles, most of them on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She hikes since 2009 and has accomplished nearly 4 thru-hikes of the PCT.

Other thru-hikes included the "Lowest to Highest Route" in 2014 and 2015, the southern part of the "Te Araroa" in New Zealand in 2015, the "Grand Enchantment Trail" in 2015, the "San Diego Trans County Trail" in 2015, the "Northern New Mexico Loop" in 2016, the "Great Divide Trail" in 2016 and the "Sky Islands Traverse" in 2017.

She also hiked in the United Kingdom and on the canary islands. In 2015 she worked as a ridge-runner on the Appalachian Trail.

= Blogger = Timeoni blogs about her hikes and general things. She utilizes an advanced form of language, often achieving poetic posts.

Her blog is less useful as beta or how-to for other hikers (although she does always link to such sources), but she manages to transfer the moods of situations she is involved in.

Timeoni was featured in Youtube videos of John Zahorian and she acted as a hiking-model for the company Pa'lante Packs.

= Farmer = In 2017 Timeoni worked as a farmhand in Massachusetts to earn money. On her blog she wrote that she earned 10 $ per hour and she was also responsible to sell fresh legumes on local markets. Prior she worked as a waitress in Bellingham.

= Personal live = Timeoni was born in Bellingham, Washington.

It is possible, that she is a descendant of an Auschwitz survivor. She wrote in her blog, that her grand-mother had a number tattooed on her arm, but she did not dare to ask her grand-mother what this number was all about. Her grand-mother passed away without telling her.
