About
I'm a compulsive itinerary builder and food-driven traveler who never met a sunset I didn't like. I am happiest with a boarding pass in hand.
Travel style
I'm just as comfortable glamping in Idaho as I am snoozing under high thread-count sheets in Paris. As long as there's plenty of food and wine and a healthy dose of local culture, I'm happy. Oh, and an impeccable aesthetic doesn't hurt either. I'm currently learning about sustainable travel and how to be more thoughtful about the impact I have on destinations that I visit.

Amanda's reviews
I haven't worked with a travel advisor for more than 20 years. Having Amanda as our consultant was a game changer. She did so much research and provided us with many choices on where to stay when we were first researching our trip. She gave us ideas for restaurants, excursions, communicated with the hotel when we finally chose a place. She was really good at communicating with us too and keeping us updated. She got us free breakfast buffet each day and other upgrades which were awesome. When our flight out of Denver was delayed, she arranged a new connecting flight for us while we were in the air! That was a lifesaver. If we hadn't had her, we would have gotten to Belize City and had to scramble to figure out how to get a connecting flight on our own, or we would have had to stay overnight in Belize City and lose a night at our resort. It was like having a guardian angel on our trip. Thank you Amanda!!

I can't imagine booking this trip without Amanda's help! Using our budget parameters and love of boutique properties, she recommended a handful of hotels for each city we visited. She was able to book our stays with perks and room upgrades -- landing us the largest suite at Nobildonne Relais, a suite with a Duomo view in Florence and food and beverage credit at Sina Centurion. She graciously booked our tours on our behalf, arranged transfers, built a detailed itinerary including a Google map to keep us on track. In short, Amanda made the planning of this trip a breeze. I'd definitely recommend Amanda's services and will use her again!

I have always booked my travel but picking hotels can be so daunting. I enlisted the help of my friend Amanda and it was the best decision! It took the burden off of picking and booking the hotel and she was able to get us perks that we wouldn't have gotten by booking directly.

I traveled to the Philippines for a death in the family, and this was the final leg of the trip. Amanda made everything seamless and confirmed all details, offering that priceless bit of reprieve from having to make more decisions or plans on top of an already difficult situation. The hotel took wonderful care of us, and we had the most wonderful rest — thanks to Amanda!
