About Me

Florida is my home in every sense of the word. I’ve lived here for over 20 years, which means I understand this state far beyond the usual visitor highlights and glossy brochures. I’ve experienced Florida through hurricane seasons, sunrise beach walks, late-night drives on coastal highways, quiet off-season towns, and peak-holiday crowds. That lived experience lets me design trips that aren’t just pretty on paper but truly workable in real life: realistic driving times, smart sequencing of destinations, and the right balance of rest, exploration, and fun.

Over the years, I’ve traveled extensively to many of Florida’s most iconic destinations, including Boca Raton, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, St. Augustine, Orlando, Key West, and Tampa, along with plenty of lesser-known spots in between. Each of these cities has its own vibe—Miami’s high-energy nightlife and diverse neighborhoods feel very different from the historic charm of St. Augustine or the family-friendly buzz of Orlando’s theme parks, and I know how to match those differences to your personality and priorities. Because I know the local nuances—like which areas are more walkable, which beaches are quieter, where traffic can really slow you down, and how the feel of a city shifts between weekday and weekend—I’m able to help you choose not just the right city, but the right part of that city for your stay.

My long-term connection to Florida also means I understand the practical side of travel here: the reality of heat and humidity (one step out the door and you’re already sweating bullets), when afternoon storms are likely, how hurricane season can affect plans, and the best times of year to visit different regions. I’ve learned which experiences are worth the hype and which “must-dos” are skippable depending on your interests. When I build an itinerary, I factor in things like crowd patterns, seasonal events, and how much energy activities really require, so you’re not stuck in endless lines or exhausted from over-packed days. I will hand-craft your experience to your needs; whether you are looking for an adventurous getaway, a relaxing day for some much needed R&R, or a combination of both – your trip will flow in a way that feels intentional.

As a travel advisor who focuses on women and LGBTQ+ travelers, I look at Florida through the lens of comfort, safety, and belonging as much as entertainment. I pay attention to which areas feel more inclusive, which neighborhoods have welcoming dining and nightlife, and which properties take guest care and security seriously. When I recommend where to stay in places like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, or Key West, I’m not just picking based on price or star rating; I’m thinking about how you’ll feel walking back to your hotel at night, what the surrounding area is like, and whether it aligns with your comfort level and preferences. My goal is for you to feel both excited and at ease—able to fully enjoy your vacation without constantly worrying about logistics or safety.

Because I’ve spent so many years living and traveling within Florida, I’m also able to help you connect the dots between destinations in a way that makes sense. Maybe you want to pair beach time in Boca Raton with a cultural and nightlife-focused weekend in Miami, or mix Orlando theme parks with a relaxing end to your trip in Tampa or along the Gulf Coast. I know how to structure those combinations so you’re not backtracking or burning out, and I can offer honest guidance on what’s realistic for your timeline. Whether you’re dreaming of a quick getaway, a road trip, or a longer, slow-paced stay, I bring two decades of local perspective to every recommendation.

When you book your Florida trip with me, you’re not just getting someone who “knows the attractions”—you’re getting a local-level insider who has lived, worked, and played here for most of their life. I use that experience to anticipate the things you might not think to ask, suggest options that truly fit your personality, and design an itinerary that reflects how you want to feel on vacation: relaxed, safe, seen, and genuinely delighted by the places you visit.

Send me a message and let’s get that Florida dream vacation planned for you!

10-day Spain Excursion for Two!
Reviewed By Sabrina M. - Boston, MA | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Amanda planned our first big Europe trip as a lesbian couple, and it could not have gone better. She put together a 10-day itinerary through Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville with centrally located, queer-friendly hotels and clear neighborhood guidance so we always felt safe and comfortable. Her restaurant and flamenco show recommendations were spot-on.

Fabulous Fun in the European Sun
Reviewed By David L. - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Valencia | Spain | Europe
Amanda created a custom Spain itinerary for my partner and me that hit Madrid, Valencia, and Mallorca. She balanced museums and food tours with beach days, and every hotel she chose felt both stylish and safe for us as a gay couple. We never had to guess which areas to avoid or where we’d feel comfortable holding hands.

Gorgeous Engagement Trip to Spain!
Reviewed By Ana & Michelle - Miami, FL | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Amanda helped us celebrate our engagement with a romantic Spain getaway—Barcelona, Granada, and a few nights on the Costa del Sol. She booked boutique hotels that were explicitly welcoming to LGBTQ+ guests and arranged a private Alhambra tour and sunset rooftop cocktails. It felt like traveling with a safety net and a local best friend rolled into one.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

As a nonbinary solo traveler, I was nervous about my first trip to Europe. Amanda listened carefully and then planned a Madrid and Lisbon itinerary that fit my comfort level. She picked thoughtfully vetted guesthouses and sent detailed arrival instructions, plus tips on queer nightlife and safe transportation. I felt supported the entire time.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
