It all started with a poster of the Eiffel Tower on the wall of Amanda’s childhood bedroom. She would fall asleep every night staring at that poster wishing with all her might that she could be there looking at the iconic landmark in person. Under the strangest of circumstances, she received the opportunity to go when she was 12. Traveling in first class on a non-stop flight from St. Louis, MO to Paris (imagine!) she watched in awe as flight attendants passed by with overflowing carts of smoked salmon, exotic cheeses and fresh fruits she had never seen before. The gigantic 747 even had a spiral staircase and a smoking section (gasp!).

Though things have changed over the years, Amanda’s wanderlust has not. She spent 20 years in the corporate event industry planning incentive trips, conferences and expos around the world. With a knack for turning corporate visions into unforgettable experiences, she earned the trust of clients by paying meticulous attention to detail, thinking strategically and remaining calm under pressure.

After the global pandemic in 2020, it felt natural to focus on a new career adventure in travel. It is truly Amanda’s pleasure to help you explore the world and create lifelong memories. No matter the size of the adventure, big or small, she wants you to feel the same sense of wonder and excitement she felt at age 12 seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time.
