A note from Amanda Hi! I’m Amanda, a corporate girlie who equally appreciates being both a cozy homebody and experienced traveler. After graduating business school and turning thirty, I asked myself, what’s next? With a fulfilling career in marketing, I sought out a way to dig into my creative side outside of the 9-5 that’s intertwined with my passion for travel. Starting this travel blog has done exactly that. I believe that with the right amount of planning and maybe a little flexibility, making your travel dreams a reality is possible, regardless of budget. And, I’m here to help you do it. This travel blog is more than just a collection of where I’ve been. Its your resource and go to travel bestie regardless of whether you’re planning your first trip ever (go you!) or as seasoned a traveler as I. This is a place where you can find sincere and genuine advice so you can spend less time dreaming about far away places and more time being there. Of course, all while not breaking the bank. I’d like to give a quick ‘thank you’ to my family and friends for supporting this blog, even when they couldn’t wrap their heads around why I’d want another job (side note – I technically have 4). And a special, special thank you to readers; I would not be here without any of you! happy travels, Amanda, xo
