About Me
Hi! I am Amanda,
A North Carolina girl with a full-time career and a passion for seeing the world without breaking the bank or the planet.
It all started in Romania, where cobblestone streets , stunning landscapes, and kind people made me fall completely in love with travel and lit a fire in me to keep exploring. Back home, I quickly realized that funding a travel habit on a real salary meant getting creative — and that’s where thrifting changed everything. Secondhand shopping lets me stretch my travel budget further while keeping my footprint smaller, and honestly? The finds are better anyway. Now I split my PTO between tropical escapes and old-world adventures, packing light with wardrobes built entirely from thrift stores. If you’re someone who wants to see the world sustainably and smartly — without waiting until retirement to do it — you’re in exactly the right place.
I am so happy you are here!
