Hi, I'm Amanda!

Your family’s planning partner
I’m a family travel advisor, Disney College Program alum, and mom of two. I help families navigate the planning, answer questions, and stay on top of important details so they can focus on making memories together.

MY STORY

From Educator to Travel Advisor

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent 21 years as an educator. During that time, I learned how important it is to listen, understand each family’s unique needs, and provide support in a way that makes people feel confident and prepared.

Today, I bring that same approach to vacation planning. I take the time to get to know your family, your priorities, your budget, and what you’re hoping to get out of your vacation. My goal isn’t just to book a trip—it’s to help you feel informed, prepared, and excited every step of the way.

I’ve been planning vacations for my own family and helping friends and family members for more than a decade. In 2021, I turned that passion into Journeys Unlocked Travel so I could help even more families plan Disney vacations, Disney Cruise Line sailings, Universal Orlando trips, and other family adventures.

As a Disney College Program alum, I also bring a unique perspective and behind-the-scenes understanding of Disney destinations that helps me better support my clients.

I live in Nebraska with my husband and our two sons, Micah and Evan. Some of our favorite family memories have been made while traveling together, and helping other families create those same kinds of memories is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

My goal is to help you feel confident, prepared, and excited long before travel day arrives.

HOW I WORK

My planning philosophy

I don’t believe families need more information. They need help making the right decisions for their family.

Personalized, always
Every recommendation I make is shaped by your family’s priorities, budget, and travel style—not a template.
A partner, not a portal
I’m not a booking engine. I’m your planning partner. Here to answer questions, navigate details, and support your family throughout the planning process.
Guided Every Step
My teaching background taught me that people learn best when information is shared at the right time. That’s why I guide you through the planning process step by step, helping you feel confident, prepared, and excited for your vacation.
