About
I'm a former exec from the fashion industry pursuing my insatiable wanderlust full time. I'm a mom, wife and chauffeur to my (very busy) six-year-old daughter. Life is good in beautiful Lake Tahoe, but I dream of Europe.
Travel style
Named one of Fora's top travel advisors, I'm a travel enthusiast who has been lucky enough to explore 34 countries (and counting!) with my adventurous husband and daughter by my side (she's been to 10 countries so far). My happy place? A stunning boutique hotel with a breathtaking view, poolside bliss and the convenience of room service (or at least, in-room coffee is a must!). My absolute favorite thing to do is discovering luxurious, one-of-a-kind properties in various destinations and roaming around new cities exploring on foot. As a travel advisor, nothing brings me more joy than creating unforgettable memories for families and couples. Let me help turn your travel dreams into reality!

Amanda is such a joy to work with! She took all our requests and turned them into a really perfect getaway. She provided great communication and made the whole process so easy. Amanda arranged for some awesome welcome goodies for my birthday and that was such a nice surprise upon arriving in our rooms. Will absolutely use Amanda for future travel needs!

This was my first experience working with the travel advisor, Amanda Bates. Truly enjoyed working with her from the start. It was super easy and fast to communicate with Amanda to work out the booking details plus she was able to help me secure an excellent rate and additional VIP discount benefits for my hotel stay. I was also pleasantly surprised when I arrived to my hotel room to discover a fresh gift of delicious fruit and bottled water in my hotel room with a thoughtful handwritten note from Amanda. It was an unexpected gesture of kindness that truly enhanced my overall experience and added a special touch to my time at the Four Seasons. I am grateful for Amanda's outstanding service, and I look forward to the opportunity of working with her again in the future.
