Travel style
My travel style is a blend of city exploration, culinary indulgence and adventure seeking. I’m drawn to uncovering the soul of a city, wandering its historic streets, and discovering its gastronomic secrets, whether it’s by sampling street vendors’ delicacies, exploring bustling markets, attending local cooking classes or dining at coveted restaurants. Simultaneously, I thrive on adventure travel from trekking through breathtaking landscapes to jumping into thrilling cultural experiences. I believe in making the most of every journey by leveraging by spending to gain points and miles to help add luxury to my travel escapades on a budget. Whether it’s savoring tapas in Barcelona, snorkeling in Thailand or finding that perfect flight deal, my travel style is all about embracing the unexpected and savoring the world’s diverse flavors and experiences.

Amanda is the best travel agent I have ever booked with. Communication was always clear and consistent. I felt 100% confident in my booking. Amanda walked me through all the options, and I'm so glad she recommended the Palihotel. Also, Amanda provided a very thoughtful and thorough list of recommendations that made my stay in San Francisco even better. Booking with her was so easy, clear, and efficient. Overall, I felt like I was in very good hands with Amanda and would recommend to her anyone and everyone!
