Welcome to Damn Amanda. If you’re looking for a perfect itinerary, a perfectly behaved traveler, or an endless parade of perfect pictures, you’ve probably taken a wrong turn. You can stay anyway.
A few good places to begin
- A Little Uncomfortable Never Hurt Anyone — Dublin, solo travel, unexpected conversations, and one enormous victory getting my wheelchair on the plane with me.
- You Really Think I Wouldn’t Answer This Prompt? — coffee, Vienna, 11.2 kilometers of wandering, and why the story matters more than how you move.
- Have You Ever? — the beginnings of this blog and the people who taught me to wander.
- Say the Things — an invitation not to put off what matters.
What you’ll find here
Solo travel. Functional accessibility. Stories from the road. Family, history, humor, and the occasional spectacularly questionable idea. I believe in showing up for life, even when it gets messy.
Meet Amanda, or simply pick a story and see where it takes you.
