Travel style

Hi there! I’m a passionate travel planner with over 25 years of experience, and I’ve been a world traveler since childhood. From my early days as an exchange student immersing myself in local cultures, to my college years exploring new destinations with youthful enthusiasm, and later as a parent homeschooling two kids on adventures around the globe, each phase has shaped my understanding of travel.

Now that both my kids are off to college, my husband and I get to enjoy the luxury of romantic getaways and sophisticated escapes. We also just finished a travel bucket list that includes visiting every Disney Park in the world!

I’m on a mission to help others chase their dream vacations! Let’s turn your travel dreams into unforgettable adventures together!

Amanda's reviews

When I asked Amanda to find me a Park & Ride in the Twin Cities due to our flight going out so early and getting back so late (I did not want to inconvenience my family), she found this option for us immediately. I would definitely use this hotel again as long as the shuttle service worked with my flight on both ends!

I had no idea travel agents were still available. I had not used one since traveling in Europe in the mid 90s...I was feeling totally overwhelmed trying to plan my 50th birthday celebration on my own so posted a query to Facebook which is how I found Amanda. Her immediate messenger response was so professional and personable and I could tell she was very tech savvy. She stood out above and beyond the other contenders so it was easy to choose her to help me plan my celebration. I told her a general idea of where I wanted to go (someplace warm with water) and lots of outdoor physical activities. I did not even mention that adults only would be a bonus; she definitely has great intuition! Her communication style was very straightforward and positive. She nailed my travel preferences. I cannot recommend her highly enough (and already have) and plan to use her for all my traveling adventures in the future! Additional kudos for getting us priority boarding status!!!

★★★★★ I had the pleasure of working with Amanda Kim, and her professionalism, timely responses, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. From start to finish, she provided clear guidance, insightful recommendations, and a structured process that made everything smooth and efficient. Her response time was impressive. She always addressed my questions promptly, ensuring there were no delays. Her proactive communication kept everything on track, and I never had to follow up twice. Every recommendation she provided was thoughtful, practical, and backed by deep knowledge and experience. Beyond recommendations, she shared valuable tips that helped me navigate the process efficiently. She anticipated challenges and provided solutions ahead of time, making a significant difference. Her ability to break down the process into a clear, structured timeline ensured that everything was completed on schedule. Amanda’s expertise, professionalism, and efficiency make her an outstanding choice. If you value responsiveness, high-quality service, and seamless execution, she is the absolute best. Highly recommended!

Amanda is my lifeline. I tend to book last minute and she found an amazing hotel close to boarding our ship (we were preparing for a cruise ). She has never let me down and I cannot praise her enough.
