Experience
Amanda started Scenic States as a resource for anyone looking to travel around the US, especially those ambitious enough to join her in visiting all 50 states. She’s been to 41 states so far, has driven across the country in a minivan, and gets out to travel as much as she possibly can.

Amanda’s friends and family all ask here “where should we go?” or “what should we do?” and thus the idea of Scenic States was born. She wanted to share with the world her experiences and recommendations from places that she has been and seen. 

Amanda loves nothing more than to inspire others to get out and see the world and she hopes Scenic States will help people get out and explore more.
