My Story
I’m a travel lover who gets excited about diving into local cultures, trying amazing food, and meeting new people. Whether it’s in a luxury five-star hotel or cozying up in a cottage in the Canadian forest, I find joy in all kinds of travel experiences. I love helping others plan trips that let them explore new places, enjoy great cuisine, and create memorable moments. For me, travel is all about happiness, discovery, and making every journey special.
Travel Style
I love immersing myself in the culture. I believe that exposing yourself to the lifestyle, eating, shopping, and interacting with the residents of where you are traveling will elevate your travel experience. I want people to see and experience travel in a way that will inspire you to grow and appreciate the diversity of the world we live in. It is all about finding that perfect balance. I have stayed in five-star hotels and road-side motels, eating in gourmet restaurants or grabbing a slice of pizza on a random street in Venice. All of it has been incredible.

Amanda presented plenty of options for our group of five (5) to pick from. From destination to price point, she stayed in our pocket!
Even the week of travel, there was unexpected international concerns. She handled our personal concerns and car service as if it were her own trip!

Like I said, I didn’t know that this was a location that was even being considered in the planning process. My husband and Amanda worked together to surprise me with this location add in the itinerary and I think Amanda really outdid herself in the way that she was able to communicate and execute on a vision that Greg had for our stay. The fact that she was able to get the man to book a luxury location is still mind blowing to me and I will give her a ton of credit because Greg even said to me after our stay that he was like “I don’t think I’ll be able to stay anywhere else after this.“ It was just a delight to number one work with Amanda because I think the way of travel agent has kind of fallen off after Covid and people believe that they can truly plan a trip themselves. “It’s easy” and “all you have to do is get on the Internet and look what other people are doing”, but I think that Amanda has a unique knack for 1) being curious enough to go and see a lot of the locations herself, 2) leveraging her network to be able to gauge whether or not some of the fluff that’s on the Internet is worth it, and 3) really advocating for locations that may not be on your radar. I think she does a great job of being able to cohesively put together an itinerary that feels crafted to you.

Amanda is energetic, engaging, knowledgeable, and excited about every opportunity that she has to plan a trip. She was able to provide us with excellent recommendations, steeped in research and tailored to our budget, our expectations and our dreams. She does a great job of listening and suggesting ideas based off of what she hears and is eager to provide her clients with the trip that they want and while sprinkling in options that maybe they hadn’t considered originally in their plan all to say the trip was 10 times better than it would’ve been if we would’ve planned it on our own.

Amanda put us in a perfect location on the beach and my room was upgraded and there was a welcome gift in the room too! The $100 credit and free breakfast that she got us when she booked the hotel was so good to have, and all the food on site was amazing. I will definitely have Amanda book any other trips I take!

A Chic Stay in the Flemings Mayfair in London
I had the privilege of staying at the Flemings Mayfair in April, an exceptional hotel that is perfectly positioned in the heart of London. This boutique luxury property is special in so many ways. Flemings Mayfair is a privately owned hotel, which is rare. It has been in the same family for over 40 years, ensuring the hotel continues in the tradition of keeping their guests at the center of their mission. We were greeted by a team of incredibly warm and attentive staff dedicated to making our stay unforgettable. The hotel boasts stunning decor, blending classic elegance with contemporary touches, and the rooms and suites are equally impressive, offering a luxurious and comfortable retreat after a day of exploring London.

Site Inspection at Fairmont Royal York Toronto
Recently I stayed at the stunning Fairmont Royal York in Toronto. Sometimes it is hard to say "everything about this hotel is incredible", but not for the Royal York. Literally, everything about his hotel is incredible, from the staff to the decor to the food. You can stay in the hotel for days without ever wanting to step out into the real world.
