Travel style
I love all types of travel - it just depends on the destination! I like to experience places like the locals and look for those memorable moments you’ll talk about years later. I'm all about finding the ideal balance for the perfect travel experience so you don't return exhausted from the trip. Every trip I take consists of activities, me time, local food and drink, some luxury and a unique place to stay. Love earning points? Me too - I got you! I’m able to curate trips taking loyalty programs into consideration.

Amanda 's reviews
Amanda was an absolute joy to work with. We used every single one of her recommendations, and they were all perfect and spot on to our vibe. Her restaurant recommendations were incredible, she helped us find things that were going to be on the way to other spots that we were looking for. She suggested a yoga place that we absolutely loved. I would definitely work with Amanda again. She is a gem and I can't wait for her to plan my next vacation.
