About Me

Cinque Terre Vernazza Italy after a 2-hour hike
Cinque Terre Vernazza Italy after a 2-hour hike

Travel has been a lifelong passion for Amanda, sparked by family adventures growing up — she was lucky enough to visit Cancun eight times and Disney World three times as a child. Now, with her own amazing husband and four beautiful daughters, Amanda has woven those cherished experiences into her family’s story, taking them to Disney World three times, igniting a shared love for all things magical.

But Amanda’s travel spirit doesn’t stop there — she and her family have fallen in love with cruising! They cruised to Jamaica and Grand Cayman, where highlights like swimming with dolphins and climbing the breathtaking Dunn’s River Falls left unforgettable memories. She’s also cruised to the stunning Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, and explored incredible destinations including Italy’s iconic cities (Rome, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, and the picturesque Cinque Terre), Antigua, New York City, Las Vegas, Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Fort Myers, Montana, Niagara Falls, and beyond.

Amanda’s passion is not just about visiting new places — it’s about creating meaningful experiences, memories, and happiness for you and your family. She’s excited to help you plan your next unforgettable vacation, turning your travel dreams into reality!

Waikoloa Beach
Reviewed By Nana56469 - Palisade, MN | Traveled to Waikoloa, Hawaii | Hawaii | USA
Beautiful area and resort complex! We loved the luau and dolphin experience that are on the property. We were able to see whales. The onsite lagoon had crystal clear water with multiple fish and a sea turtle swimming through. Used the rental car to explore the island to visit Mauna Kea and zipline. We had a great time with 3 generations of family.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
