With family scattered across the globe, Amy’s passion for travel was ignited at an early age. And, it's one that's stayed with her ever since. Having travelled extensively across the USA, she's slowly creeping towards her goal of visiting all 50 states. Indeed, one of her most recent trips was a breathtaking expedition cruise and road trip across Alaska, with its magical scenery and majestic wildlife.

For Amy, wildlife, culture, and cuisine are her top priorities when travelling. And, she's certainly had her fair share of memorable experiences, from hiking the national parks of Utah and swimming with sea lions in the Galápagos to exploring the majestic mountains of Patagonia, and delving deep into the music and food of the Deep South.

Having been lucky enough to travel on several expedition cruises, Amy has often been found sailing off the beaten path, with highlights that include the Chilean Fjords and Falkland Islands. The next ‘tick’ on the bucket list? A cruise to Antarctica, which she's due to take later this year.
