ABOUT ME

 

Travel More Without Going Broke (or Losing Your Mind)

You want to see the world—maybe for the first time, or maybe in a different way. But the cost, limited PTO, and planning stress make it feel harder than it should be.

Sound familiar?

Good news: you’re not alone. And you’re not stuck.

Hey, I’m Amy, A Traveling Broad.

I help everyday people travel better—on a budget, with less stress, and a lot more confidence.

My first real trip? I planned it the summer before my senior year of high school. I had no clue what I was doing, but it sparked a lifelong obsession with exploring new places and figuring out how to do it smarter each time.

And like many of you, I work full-time. My travel doesn’t happen on unlimited vacation days—it happens in the real world, squeezed into long weekends, holiday breaks, and precious PTO hours. I know what it’s like to balance work, bills, responsibilities…and still crave adventure.

✈️ My Mission: Help You Travel Smarter—On Your Terms

When I started, I:

• • Overpaid for flights

  • Packed the wrong stuff

  • Missed hidden gems because I didn’t plan well

  • Didn’t ask the right questions—or even know what to ask

But I learned. I simplified. And I created A Traveling Broad to help you travel without overthinking—or overspending.

I Can Show You How to:

1. 1. Plan with Clarity – Know what to do (and what to skip)

   2. Save Real Money – Avoid costly rookie mistakes

   3. Pack Like a Pro – Only what you need, nothing you don’t

   4. Discover New Destinations – Itineraries, tips, and hidden gems

   5. Build Confidence – Whether you’re flying solo or with others

You don’t need a perfect plan, just the right tools, support from someone who’s made all the mistakes herself, and a little confidence. That’s where I come in.
