Meet Amanda

Amanda has specialized in crafting adventure travel experiences for 20 years, including while living and working in Scotland and New Zealand. Her love of travel planning has taken her clients on remarkable journeys spanning the globe, from the icy wilderness of Antarctica to the wild bush of Zambia and virtually everywhere in between.

Amanda's sense of adventure sparked at a young age when she spent summer vacations exploring states across the U.S. with her family. Beginning in high school, her love of travel grew internationally on student trips to New Zealand, Australia, and Ecuador. While pursuing her psychology degree, Amanda took her wanderlust to new heights, traveling to 14 European countries and realizing her calling to merge two passions: helping people and exploring the world.

Over the years, Amanda has had the great privilege of traveling the globe, but she has a special place in her heart for Africa. She’s been lucky enough to visit seven times so far and has found it to be a continent that continues to draw her back, with no plans of stopping. She is also passionate about her two former homes abroad, Scotland and New Zealand. While living in both countries, Amanda had the opportunity to explore and discover a great appreciation for how special both are, each in their own way.

At her core, Amanda is not merely a planner but a dedicated connector. Her career is a testament to her innate ability to bridge people, places, and experiences. With an unwavering commitment to creating exceptional journeys, Amanda doesn’t just organize itineraries; she forges connections, linking individuals to the transformative power of exploration and adventure.

Amanda also passionately embraces a personal mission rooted in sustainability and supports responsible travel practices. She is committed to safeguarding the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems and empowering the communities she and her travelers encounter.

When she’s not meticulously developing itineraries for others, she loves to create her own, near and far. Regardless of her whereabouts, Amanda always reserves time for a great hike, a sporting event, or enjoying the company of old and new friends. Her dedication to adventure, passion for helping people explore the world, and zest for life truly define her story.
