IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

IMG_8071.jpg

I got my US Passport. My name is Amanda and I couldn’t imagine life without traveling. I remember when I was younger thinking that my dream job was to be a travel agent; it was the only way I could fathom going beyond my hometown. And then the year I was turning 21, I knew that my first step had to be getting a passport. With no specific destination in mind, I applied and got myself one for my birthday. Once I had it, I was anxious to travel, but I had no idea where to start. Luckily, I had some like-minded friends with the same love of travel as I had dreamed of. All I ever really knew at the time - nearly 10 years ago - was that I wanted to go somewhere tropical and/or Australia.

Within a year of getting my passport, my friend and I booked a 7-Day Western Caribbean Cruise. It was cheap, easy, and tropical! The cruise checked off all the boxes I didn’t even know I had listed. Adventurous, relaxing, beautiful, and it was the first of many, many travels.

Since then, I’ve proudly filled my Passport with the following countries: Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize, Cozumel, England, Scotland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Czechia, Greece, Croatia, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Peru, Thailand, Canada, Mexico, and Portugal. 5 of 7 continents isn’t too bad. And those are just the international destinations. So, let’s just say, I’ve been places.

This year, I had to renew my Passport, and it’s bittersweet; I get to look back and reminisce about all the places I visited, but now I’m starting back again with a blank Passport. My first book is going to be hard to beat, but my new one is there when I’m ready to try.

At this point in my life, I feel like I have experienced some of the best adventures in the best destinations around the world, and I love to talk and share them with anyone who is listening. Especially those who I can help get there, too.
