I take the scenic route to chase the vibrant hues of sunsets — I’m the California adventurer who finds joy in the simple, unforgettable moments of travel.
Travel style
As a seasoned traveler who has embraced every stage of the journey, I bring a wealth of experience to my role as a travel advisor. 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 navigating family-friendly adventures with two kids, each phase has shaped my understanding of travel. Now, my husband and I are enjoying the luxury of romantic getaways and sophisticated escapes. I thrive on discovering local cuisines, finding serenity in nature, enjoying thrilling theme parks and diving into the vibrant pulse of new cities. My passion for travel is driven by a desire to explore, savor and embrace the diverse wonders our beautiful planet has to offer.

Amanda's reviews
Amanda was a lifesaver, with my flight delayed and missing suitcases she was on it and made sure everything went well. She made my vacation stress free and I don’t think I will ever go back to planning my own trips after working with her :)

Amanda was absolutely incredible in planning our trip to Edinburgh. Having studied abroad there a decade ago, I was eager to return, and Amanda’s deep understanding of this part of the world made the trip unforgettable. I validated her recommendations with friends who live in Edinburgh, and they agreed her choices were spot-on. She secured an excellent rate at the exact hotel I wanted, with a complimentary upgrade and a $100 property credit we used for the whiskey bar and afternoon tea. Her thoughtful questions, responsiveness, and perfect bookings for tours and exceptional dinners made this a trip we’ll always remember. I would highly recommend her services to anyone planning a trip to the UK!

Amanda was fantastic in planning our two-night stay in London! She found us a perfect hotel, balanced cultural activities with time for exploring, and recommended cozy restaurants that were exactly what we wanted. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient, providing great options to choose from and making the whole process seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her services!

Amanda Kim at FORA Travel made planning our Las Vegas couples trip effortless and stress-free! My brother and I shared our idea and dates, and Amanda quickly sent us curated options with her expert recommendations for where to stay and what to do. It was incredibly convenient to have her handle all the research and booking, our only job was to say yes and show up! When work commitments caused us to change our plans slightly just a week before the trip, Amanda went above and beyond to accommodate us, even adding an extra night. Everything went off without a hitch, and the trip felt magical. The hotel was perfect, the activities were spot-on, and we didn’t have to stress about a single detail. Amanda’s service was exceptional, and her expertise made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough. If you want a seamless, stress-free travel experience, she’s the one to call. AMAZING from start to finish!
