About Me

Spanish

If you want to know about me...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's when my passion for travel probably started.

Coming from a small town, the new
city was exciting and full of life.

Mar del Plata is one of the main
touristic destinations in the country.

People from all over the country
vacation in this city.

I first traveled to Punta Cana in 1994.
I was still living in Mar del Plata,
Argentina, at the time.

It was later that year that I
met Teri. She was vacationing in
Mar del Plata with a friend but she
lived in Michigan.

Teri 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 her.

While in Michigan I met Matt through
Teri's friends. By the time my vacation
was over I was already engaged to Matt.

I went home and a couple of months
later he traveled to Argentina to meet
my family and bring me back to the States.
We got married in 1997.

Cabarete, Dominican republic

I traveled to Argentina to visit my family many times while my daughter was little. Then when she started going to school it was more difficult. She couldn't miss school that much.

So we started thinking about other places to go on vacation. I never stopped thinking about Punta Cana.

I had always wanted to go back. In 2003 we finally decided to go. And that's how it all started.

In the past few years we have stayed at several all inclusive resorts.

We all fell in love with the Dominican Republic
and we've been vacationing there ever since.

That is a short story about me, I'll tell you more later...
