My name is Amanda Shepherd and I travel the world with my panda, Polly, by my side. I have a hunger for travel and aspire to collect as many stamps on my passport as possible. Some of the most common things I hear are:
– “I’m so jealous you can travel so much, I want to do that.”
– “Aren’t you scared to do that?”
– “How on earth do you have so much money to travel?”
– “Stuff me in your suitcase?”

I’m here to inspire people to travel. I want to show you that it’s possible to travel and it’s possible to achieve your dream. Stop making excuses for yourself and just do it. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, your job, your family situation, or your fear of airplanes. If you have the fire and drive to travel, I will inspire you to get off your couch or off your office chair, and just do it. Fair warning: once you do it, you’ll never see the world the same again.

Thank you for traveling the world with me. Feel free to say hi. Let’s swap stories. Polly loves stories.
