About Me

Lake Tahoe, California is an alpine paradise wrapped in one breathtaking lake. When you arrive, you’ll be surrounded by crystal-clear waters framed by Sierra Nevada peaks, pine forests, and year-round adventure that feels both wild and accessible. Straddling the California-Nevada line, Tahoe offers four distinct seasons: snowy winter wonderlands for skiing, summer beaches for paddling and hiking, vibrant fall foliage, and spring wildflower blooms along 72 miles of shoreline. 

South Lake Tahoe buzzes with energy—think Heavenly Resort gondola rides, bustling casino nightlife (on the NV side), and family-friendly spots like Emerald Bay State Park, where Vikingsholm Castle and Inspiration Point deliver postcard views. For a quieter vibe, head to Tahoe City or Homewood on the West Shore: cozy lodges, uncrowded beaches, and trails like Eagle Falls that lead to cascading waterfalls. North Tahoe’s Kings Beach offers laid-back lakeside dining, paddleboarding, and mountain biking, while the East Shore’s Sand Harbor dazzles with turquoise coves perfect for kayaking. 

Winter brings world-class skiing at resorts like Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley, Olympic host), Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood—beginner slopes to black diamonds, plus après-ski scenes from rustic pubs to upscale chalets. Summer shines for watersports: rent boats, SUPs, or jet skis; hike the Rubicon Trail for epic lake panoramas; or mountain bike Flume Trail. Year-round, hot air balloon rides, scenic drives on Highway 89, and boat cruises reveal Tahoe’s magic from every angle. 

For women and LGBTQ+ travelers, Tahoe feels welcoming and safe with its progressive ski-town culture, inclusive resorts, and low-key vibe. Stay in well-lit town centers like South Lake Tahoe or Tahoe City for evening walks; book LGBTQ-friendly spots like the Basecamp Hotel or Edgewood Tahoe; opt for women-led yoga retreats or group-friendly cabins. I’ve experienced Tahoe’s realities firsthand—after six years in California, including visits here—knowing winter road conditions, summer crowds, best shoulder-season deals, and how to pace multi-day itineraries so you savor without exhaustion. 

From my time exploring its trails, beaches, and slopes, I craft trips that match your comfort: romantic cabin getaways with hot tubs and fireplaces; active women’s groups with guided hikes and spa recovery; LGBTQ+ couples’ ski weekends with queer-friendly nightlife. Whether chasing powder days, lakeside sunsets, or forest escapes, Tahoe with me means insider routes, vetted stays, and peace of mind. Reach out today and let’s plan your perfect Tahoe chapter.

10-day Spain Excursion for Two!
Reviewed By Sabrina M. - Boston, MA | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Amanda planned our first big Europe trip as a lesbian couple, and it could not have gone better. She put together a 10-day itinerary through Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville with centrally located, queer-friendly hotels and clear neighborhood guidance so we always felt safe and comfortable. Her restaurant and flamenco show recommendations were spot-on.

Fabulous Fun in the European Sun
Reviewed By David L. - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Valencia | Spain | Europe
Amanda created a custom Spain itinerary for my partner and me that hit Madrid, Valencia, and Mallorca. She balanced museums and food tours with beach days, and every hotel she chose felt both stylish and safe for us as a gay couple. We never had to guess which areas to avoid or where we’d feel comfortable holding hands.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Gorgeous Engagement Trip to Spain!
Reviewed By Ana & Michelle - Miami, FL | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Amanda helped us celebrate our engagement with a romantic Spain getaway—Barcelona, Granada, and a few nights on the Costa del Sol. She booked boutique hotels that were explicitly welcoming to LGBTQ+ guests and arranged a private Alhambra tour and sunset rooftop cocktails. It felt like traveling with a safety net and a local best friend rolled into one.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Safe & Fun NB Solo Travels
Reviewed By Willow - Denver, CO | Traveled to Madrid | Spain | Europe
As a nonbinary solo traveler, I was nervous about my first trip to Europe. Amanda listened carefully and then planned a Madrid and Lisbon itinerary that fit my comfort level. She picked thoughtfully vetted guesthouses and sent detailed arrival instructions, plus tips on queer nightlife and safe transportation. I felt supported the entire time.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
