About Me

My name is Amanda and I live in South Carolina. Some of my favorite memories growing up are family trips. We explored new places and destinations, and this created a love of traveling. Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent 10 years teaching kindergarten. My time in the classroom taught me the importance of patience, organization, attention to detail, and how important it is to make people feel specials. I bring those same qualities into planning vacations for my guests. I absolutely love researching destinations, discovering hidden gems, finding great food, and putting together all the little details that turn a vacation into an unforgettable experience. Whether you're planning a family adventure, a relaxing getaway, or your next big bucket-list trip, I’m here to make the planning process exciting, personalized, and stress-free. I truly believe that life is about making memories, and I would love to help you create a few that last a lifetime.

Why I love being a travel agent

love being a travel advisor because I genuinely LOVE planning, researching, and curating opportunities for families to create lifelong memories together. There’s something so exciting about taking an idea for a vacation and turning it into a trip filled with experiences that everyone will remember for years to come. I enjoy discovering new places, trying new foods, finding hidden gems, and researching all the little details that can make a vacation even more special. I love helping guests make the most of their destination. Travel is much more than simply getting from one place to another. It’s about the excitement leading up to the trip, the moments you experience while you’re there, and the memories you bring home with you. My goal is to take the stress and guesswork out of planning while creating a vacation that feels personal to you and your family.

Favorite vacation memory

My mom and I went on a trip to Universal and had an incredible time. I am an only child and my mom and I haven't been on a vacation together since I was a kid. We spent multiple days at Epic and must have burned more calories from laughing than walking (although we got plenty of steps!). On our last day, we got an infamous Florida storm right as we were getting on our last ride of the day. We decided to ride through the rain and it was an unforgettable memory and an even better ride picture.
