Hi there! I’m Amanda…
Type-A, organized-AF, planning-obsessed traveler who genuinely believes the perfect day looks like a morning hike followed by an afternoon Spritz on a rooftop.
I'm a mountains and beach person. A city and nature person. An outdoor enthusiast who is equally happy on a couch binging a good series every now and then. I'm a sunset person actively working on becoming a sunrise person. A little bougie, mostly practical, and a total scaredy-pants — no bungie jumping for me, thank you!
And I channel all of that into planning extraordinary trips for people who want adventure without the overwhelm.
8 years. 6 continents. 50 countries.
Since 2018 I've called 17 different countries “home” — not just visited, but actually lived in for a month or more at a time. Italy, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Mexico and Thailand were some of my favorites and the ones I keep returning to again and again.
Along the way I've had the kind of experiences most people keep on a "someday" list. African safaris. Hot air balloon rides over surreal landscapes. Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Petra by candlelight. Glamping in the Sahara. Diving with whale sharks (mesmerizing)—and bull sharks (actually a bit terrifying!)…
I’ve also had my fair share of travel mishaps. Missed flights. Lost luggage. Delayed trains. Sleeping on airport floors, crowded buses, overnight ferries. You name it.
Through all of it, I've learned that the best travel advice doesn't come from perfect trips — it comes from all of them. Every missed connection and wrong turn taught me something that eventually made me better at this job, and better at making sure none of it happens to you.
I caught the travel bug early.
My first trip outside of the U.S. was to Haiti when I was 14. I went with a group called Haiti Outreach to help build a school and teach English in a rural town in the mountains.
When I was in college, I couldn’t decide on just one place I wanted to study abroad, so I choose 10… I went on Semester at Sea and circumnavigated the globe while living on a ship transformed into a floating campus.

How I got here
I graduated college and spent most of my 20’s living in Colorado, working the corporate life.
Almost by accident, after a slew of unexpected events, I discovered Wifi Tribe — a community for remote workers to travel the world together, month by month.
My plan: do 4 months of travel, come back to the states, find another job and “get back to normal life”.
It took me one week to realize I did not want to have a normal life.
I spent the next 8 years building a life out of what started as a wild idea. And now, here I am, ready to plan your next big adventure.
