About Me

IMG_132840 something girl with a serious travel bug – exploring new and beautiful places is my passion along with taking photos to capture all those memories.  Constantly planning my next trip.

Always looking for new places to explore so if you wish me to visit a destination please feel free to get in contact.

The last year has seen me finally getting to explore Norway and the Arctic in the snow, Japan with the added bonus of South Korea, the Netherlands and more recently Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.  Also headed back to Rome to induldge in newly opened Roman ruins.  Already planning East Africa, Alaska, Antarctica, Easter Island and Macedonia for next year – any suggestions gratefully received!

My website is in the continuous process of being updated so please continue to check back for details of my previous trips and future adventures!  amanda x
