About Me

Family Travel Specialist

Bitten by the travel bug in college. Even now, as a mom to four boys, I can't stop driving my husband nuts by dreaming about our next adventure. My travels have taken me to many spots starting of course in my home state of Michigan, all the way to Costa Rica, France, California and beyond. While I have experienced many unique destinations, my passion for travel lies with the ones you take with you. My greatest pleasure comes in creating loving and joy filled memories. Multigenerational, extrended family/friends or a special getaway for mom and dad - all things family is where I thrive.

Amazing first family vacation!
Reviewed By Delighted Disney Dave - Sunrise, FL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Amanda was wonderful to work with in planning our vacation. She was professional, knowledgeable, available, and she really cared that we had a great vacation. One of the things that she did was looking for the most affordable and convenient. I was so impressed with her availability during our trip. She was responded immediately, and she was kind and never made me feel like I was bothering her or interrupting. I will use Amanda again for our next vacation and I highly recommend her.
