Meet Amanda
I help travelers experience destinations, not simply visit them.
Travel has always been about more than seeing a new place for me. I want to experience it: try the local food, explore beyond the usual stops, and come home with stories worth sharing.
That philosophy is at the heart of Ajova Journeys. Ajova stands for Authentic Joy, One Vacation Away, because I believe the best vacations should give you more than a break from everyday life. They should create experiences that spark genuine joy.
My primary focus is cruising. I love researching ports, comparing excursions, finding great value, and helping travelers choose experiences that match how they want to spend their time.
