About Me

The beautiful waters of the Cyprus coastline
The beautiful waters of the Cyprus coastline

After a childhood spent bouncing all over Europe thanks to my father's job working alongside the US military, I grew up with a great passion for world travel and really getting to know the people and places around myself. This, naturally, led to an enthusiasm for seeing and learning as much about the world as I can, and an eagerness to help others do the same!

As a travel advisor, my hope is to help other people learn more about the world outside their front door. I firmly believe that one of the most beautiful things an individual can experience in life is travel. I believe in its vital, transformative importance, in the spiritual education of it. I believe that children exposed to diverse cultures are more inquisitive and open-minded, and that it helps them grow up to become more enthusiastic learners and more well-rounded people.

Above all, I believe that everybody should take the chance to get to know as much of the world as they possibly can, and I'd love to be the person to help you do it.

 

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain

The Hostess City of the South
Reviewed By K. Tinker - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Savannah | Georgia | USA
If you've never been to Savannah, GA consider this your sign to go go go!! Amanda gave us so many insider tips about places to eat or spots to check out for our photography, and the 3(three!!) separate ghost tours she set up for us were all so much fun!! We had a total blast doing everything from taking a tour in a horse drawn carriage to spending all day on the beach and enjoying some fabulous sunset cocktails. It went by too fast!! Be sure to check out the A.T. Hun Gallery in downtown for some amazing local artists selling prints, and the pizza place right next door for a great local bite! Tell them Amanda sent you! lol
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best travel agent ever
Reviewed By Sami Sellem - Denver, CO | Traveled to Malta | Europe
Amanda was so, so, so helpful when it came time for us to plan our couples getaway; I didn't have any clue what to look for or where to start, and she stepped in and handled everything from start to finish. She even knew the area where we were initially talking about going(southern France) and offered us invaluable insight about it and the surrounding areas, before we wound up picking a different country entirely! I'd never even considered Malta as a destination but it was so stunningly beautiful there, with incredible museums and so many cats!! If you're a cat lover this is the place for you for sure. It wasn't as crazy busy as some other places in the Mediterranean can be, with just the perfect level of touristy vibes for us. We had such a great time, and just think, if we'd never asked we would never even have thought to go there!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Margaritas!!
Reviewed By Regina I. - huntsville, al | Traveled to Mexico City | Mexico D.F. | Mexico
My coworkers and I were looking for a way to "celebrate" our restaurant closing... What better way to salute the end of an era than with a group vacation?? Amanda found us rooms right next to each other at the hotel and it was so perfect for us!! The nightlife was exactly what we were looking for, and she found us a bunch of great spots to try out while we were there. It was sad to see our place close but we wound up with a bunch of great memories together.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Finally got my dream cruise!!!
Reviewed By Clara T. - Summerville, SC | Traveled to Mexico
So glad I found you! Our cruise was short but it was everything I needed for the quick little vacation of my dreams. The food and entertainment were all amazing, and of course the ocean air was absolutely heavenly. I super super appreciate you finding us such a great rate and getting everything booked for us, it felt so nice to be pampered and totally taken care of so that all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Japan trip of our dreams
Reviewed By Ray Innis - Hattiesburg, MS | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
My little girl had her heart set on a trip to Japana fter graduation, and Amanda took care eof literally everythig for us... flights, hotels, tours, everything. I liked the city sights the best but my daughter wanted to see the countryside, so Amanda got us all set up to do both. She even gave us her number so we could call her with any questions or problems or anything, which was lucky because we wound up needing help about one week into our trip-- but even with the time difference she worked everyting out with no problem!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Snow and Lava

You don’t think of an active volcano as being much of a ski destination, but as an avid skier I was delighted to learn that Sicily’s Mt. Etna featured not one but two different resorts catering to the sport. My wintry daydreams were cut short, unfortunately, when Europe’s highest active volcano decided to do her thing and absolutely wipe out the...
