About Me

Hey there! I’m Amanda, your go-to travel buddy and the heart behind Famvia. If there’s one thing I get overly excited about, it’s booking unforgettable Universal vacations; whether it’s exploring the Wizarding World, braving the Jurassic thrills, or making a splash at Volcano Bay. I’ve got a soft spot for all things Universal, and I love sharing that magic with anyone ready for an adventure! But my passion doesn’t stop there. I adore creating amazing getaways for my friend family, and anyone they send my way. From sunny beach escapes to cozy mountain retreats. Planning vacations is my happy place, and I treat every trip like I’m planning for my own crew. As my good pal Chief Brody once said, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” and I like to think he meant for all the memories we’re about to make on your next vacation! Whether you’re chasing thrills or chill vibes, I’ve got your travel dreams covered. Let’s start planning your next adventure, because life’s too short!

Why I love being a travel agent

I love being a travel advisor because I get to have fun booking awesome vacations and seeing the payoff of my favorite people having the time of their life stress free, I deal with the stuff nobody wants to because I have fun doing it.

Top travel secret

Vacuum sealed bags for your suitcase!! Save as much space as you can in your luggage for all of your souvenirs or all the shoes to match your outfits haha.

Favorite destinations

I absolutely love to travel to universal every year for Halloween Horror nights, it’s my absolute favorite thing to be excited for. I'm also always thinking about the Pizza Lunar at Pizza moon in Epic Universe, it calls to me, I wish I could have it shipped to me all the way up here in Indiana.

Favorite vacation memory

My absolute favorite memory on vacation is the first time i went to universal as a child I was absolutely terrified of roller coasters. I loved the Mummy movies with Brendan Frazier and was so excited to go on the Mummy ride not knowing what kind of ride it was. I'm in line with my dad and i look over at the wall and see a small placard stating "HIGH SPEED ROLLERCOASTER". I FREAKED out and it scared me out of coasters. Nobody got me on a coaster until I was 25, now I love them!
