About Me

Spanish

My name is Amanda, I live in Michigan in the United States but I am originally from Argentina. I was born in Rafaela in the Province of Santa Fe.

When I was 7 years old, my family decided to move to Mar del Plata.
I guess that is when my passion for travel started.

Public Beach in Mar del Plata

I first traveled to Punta Cana in 1994. I was still living in Mar del Plata at the time. It was later that year that I met TJ . She was vacationing in Mar del Plata with a friend but she lived in Michigan. TJ and I became good friends, we exchanged many letters and I dreamed of the day I could finally visit the United States. It took me a year to save enough money to travel to Michigan to visit my friend. While in Michigan I met Matt and by the time my vacation was over...we were in love...

I went back to Argentina and a couple of months later Matt traveled to Argentina to meet my family. Matt and I came back to United States and got married in 1997. A year later we had a beautiful daughter...

Cabarete, Dominican republic

I traveled to Argentina to visit my family many times while our daughter was little. We would go for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. But when she started going to school it became more difficult to travel because she couldn't miss so many days of school.

So we started thinking about other places to go on vacation and I had never stopped thinking about Punta Cana. I had always wanted to go back and in 2003 we finally decided to do it! And that's how it all started!
