About

I'm a former exec from the fashion industry pursuing my insatiable wanderlust (and helping others find theirs!) full time. I'm a mom, wife and personal chauffeur to my (very busy) eight-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 38 countries (and counting!) with my adventurous husband and daughter by my side (she's been to 11 countries so far). My happy place? A stunning boutique hotel with a breathtaking view, usually walkable to a quaint town, poolside bliss (and 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's reviews

My family and I have been thrilled with Amanda. Her recommendations were thorough and accurate - no discrepancy between expectation and reality - and it was delightful to travel somewhere new to us (Punta Mita) without having to do much at all! Thank you, Amanda!

Working with Amanda is seamless and she will continue to be my go to for booking travel. Plus all the little extras are such a nice touch!

Amanda made our booking process so easy! She gave us many options to choose from based on our preferences. We felt we got a great deal with perks that made our stay even better by booking through her. Her communication was clear and we loved the itinerary that was sent to us to reference throughout our trip. Will 100% be using Amanda again for future trips!

Amanda made my trip so special! She knew how important this trip was for me and made it the perfect end to my vacation. Amanda was able to book me a beautiful room that also came with perks for the hotel, I was able to get free breakfast (which was delicious and super filling!) as well as credit for the hotel. In addition, getting a little note and cookies from her and the hotel really made me feel special and that I was really cared for. I would absolutely book with Amanda again, she is so caring and strives to make every experience the best possible!
