Lives in Huntington Beach, CA, USA
Ciao, I'm Ali Giaudrone, the creator of AMG Inspired (see website link), crafting Inspired Guides. Tap into my insight. As an avid traveler, I dive deeply into places of the world, valuing experiences over checking boxes. My Inspired Guides are informative interactive digital guidebooks offering you traveler tips gained through my hours of research, travel experiences, and talking with locals. My Focus: Architecture | Food | Culture As a designer, I've traveled throughout Europe and the Western world to learn about architectural products and methods. Now as an expert luxury traveler, I share culturally enriching experiences that aren't necessarily opulent or expensive but are focused on quality and authenticity. The best way to understand the world is to experience the unique aspects of places with an open mind and heart. I want to inspire others to experience the beauty and food of places I discover through my travels and research. Let my stories and photos spark your own journey. Then connect with me to help make your travel dreams come true. BACKGROUND: 🏛️✍🏼📷🥘✈️ Architectural Designer | Writer | Photographer | Travel Creator My travel and work experience in architectural design and hospitality have deepened my appreciation for detail and quality. I built AMG Inspired to create quality architecture and support sustainable tourism defined as “tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment.” Join me as I find cool places, great food, and interesting features. Check out my library. Let me know if you'd like me to create a custom guide for you with recommendations and/or itineraries focused on your needs, desires, and length of trip.

Always On PTO
Lives in Hermosa Beach, CA, USA
Hi there, welcome to my page! Nearly 10 years ago, I packed up all of my belongings and moved across the US from my childhood home in Massachusetts to Los Angeles. I had no job, and no plan, but just enough ambition to try something new that got me out of my comfort zone. It wasn't long after arriving in Los Angeles that I discovered my passion for traveling, adventure, and being outdoors. I've been exploring non-stop ever since and have been lucky enough to experience 7 countries, 25 states, and 15 National Parks. I'm an expert in west coast travel, having explored much of California, Arizona, and Utah. I'm a hiker, camper, and love to explore off the beaten path, which you'll see reflected in all of my guides and itineraries. Because of my full-time job and limited PTO, I plan my travel ambitiously, often times driving or flying somewhere on a Friday after work for a weekend. I try to fit in seeing as much of a destination as I possibly can on my trips (even if that means sacrificing some sleep!). I'm always thinking about my next adventure and am very excited to help you plan yours! I hope you're able to find some inspiration with my guides and itineraries, and discover a new place that you want to add to your bucket list.

Emilie La Gavi
Lives in Montreux, Switzerland
This is not your one-week relax and chill retreat vacation recommendations at the beach. I am more of a live-my-life-to-its-fullest and make-the-most-of-my-day type of traveler. Ironically, I love equally to travel solo or with a bunch of friends/family, eat old sandwiches on a backpacking trip or lavish on gastronomic food, a spontaneous adventure where we decide at 9pm where we are sleeping or a day-by-day planned trip. No matter where, how, with whom, and for how long, I choose to prioritize the experience and memories. And with a friendly budget. Sometimes, budget friendly means only booking a room on Airbnb in order to enjoy a nice brunch. Or, going to the grocery store to balance out an expensive scenic train ride. It's all about balance! At 24 years old, I am nowhere to be a travel expert. But, I lived in 4 different countries already, across two continents, and have a google maps saturated with saved pins. My obsession in finding the best gems, hidden spots, good food, fun cocktails, and unique experiences, has brought me here. You will find a good mix of shorts spontaneous weekends trips up to longer adventures; road-trip itineraries to nice hotels; Instagram- or TikTok-inspired worthy spots to unknown local gems; photogenic sceneries to more authentic views and smells. And occasionally, great spots to relax on your adventure. Because even if I enjoy walking 20'000 steps a day, I also enjoy a good spa/beach day as well!

Petra Udomprasert
Lives in Bangkok, Thailand
Hi! I'm Petra! I’m Thai, born and raised. My business is based in the US, but I call Thailand and South Korea my homes and have lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for several months. From my years living in Thailand and my annual 2-month-long visits, I'm especially knowledgeable and up-to-date about Thailand, its trends, and its culture. What are the coolest things to see and do (not necessarily the most touristy ones!), where are the best places to find authentic food (places that say "authentic" are out of the question), and which hotels have the best service... I can give you all these insider-level tips! I've lived in the US since 2015. As a digital nomad, I don't have a city or state that I'm based in, but I know LA especially well having lived there permanently for 8 years. Another of my expertise is South Korea, Seoul specifically, and Korean culture and history in general. Having grown up learning the language and visiting so often (14 times and counting), I can comfortably count Seoul as my second home. And I can confidently give you the best insider tips to Seoul just as well as Thailand! My travel style is culture-based. I love having deep connections with the local culture and people wherever I visit. So you won't find beach clubs or nightclubs much among my recommendations. Basically, if it is something you can see and experience at home, I'm not recommending it!

Emily Gladys Toll
Lives in Banff, AB, Canada
As I begin this journey into travel "influencing", I asked myself: What makes me a great travel content creator/ “influencer”? This was my answer... Travel is my OBSESSION. It begins with the foundation of my education. I studied Hospitality, Hotel and Restaurant management in college. I also have my WSET Level One, which is sommelier studies or the beginning of the process of becoming a sommelier. I studied in Niagara on the Lake which is in the Niagara region of Ontario. Niagara Falls isn’t but 20 minutes away. It’s like the Las Vegas of Canada. So tourism and travel to that area is off the charts. From there my heart got called to the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Which is arguably one of the most desired destination spot in North America, never mind the world. Over the span of 5 years I have worked in two world renowned Hotels and a Ski Resort; Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Fairmont Banff Springs and Banff Sunshine Village Ski Resort. This period in my life is where I truly discovered my passion and obsession with traveling internationally. In 2014 I discovered my love for Backpacking and seeing all parts of what a country has to offer. This journey started with a month long trek in the incredible country of Panama. Traveling as the only female, with a group of male colleagues, to around 5 different regions of the country, learning the culture, the language, and the depth Panama holds. The next country I spent a month in was Belize. Again, roaming the different regions, food and activities you can find in one of the most beautiful Caribbean countries. Other countries I visited during this period of my life were Costa Rica and Jamaica. Then came the beginning of a new chapter and adventure; Bali Indonesia and then Australia for two years. Australia is where I met my man. My visa expired the end of 2018, he got his and we moved back to Banff where we have lived for the last 5 years. During covid, we did a lot of exploring the west coast of Canada. Uculet, Tofino, Vancouver, and the Okanagan. After covid, we then did a two week trek exploring Baja California Surr in Mexico and the world class beaches that state has to offer. We rented a car and drove literally all around the province. And recently we just got back from exploring the insanely beautiful country of Portugal. Again where we rented a car and drove all around the country side. All the way from Nazare to the Algarve Coastline and everything in between. I’ve stayed in countless hostels, hotels and resorts. Worked and dined in dive bars and 5 star restaurants and everything in between. Spent 2 years living and working abroad in a country on the other side of the planet from everything familiar to me. Having visited 9+ Countries in the last 10 years, my twenties were truly dedicated to exploring as much of the world as I could with what I had. And because of these experiences, I completely understand the value and quality of a whole range of travel experiences; from camping in Tofino, too dining at the Shangri La in Sydney Australia. Now that I have stepped into my thirties, I am completely ready for more, to see more and experience more of this incredible planet. My passion and excitement for capturing and experiencing beautiful moments in time that only happen once in a lifetime, is truly what I live for. I believe and wish for everyone to have the opportunity to experience breathless moments in captivating unfamiliar places around the world. Stuart and I are currently working on Vlogs about our latest trips to Mexico and Portugal and also have very big plans of overlanding the west coast of Canada, the USA and into Mexico. So keep an eye out for these coming adventures💕

Ben Andrew
Lives in Bangkok, Thailand
Sawasdee Krub 🙏 // A big hello from Thailand, the Land of a Thousand Smiles! 🇹🇭 Hey, I'm Benji! I've been living and working in the travel industry here in Thailand for the past six years now, and what a journey it's been! 🤯 Before settling in this beautiful country, I spent five years on the Gold Coast in Australia, also in the travel biz. Funny story—I actually arrived in Thailand by chance! I was on my way back to the UK from Australia after my visa expired (feeling pretty bummed about leaving), and I booked the longest layover I could find: two days in Bangkok. Thailand was never even on my radar before that. In fact, I didn’t even know where it was on the map! (Don't worry, I do now!) But those two days changed everything. I fell in love with the country, the people, and the incredible vibe here. Before I knew it, I landed a job that let me travel around Thailand and get paid to explore this amazing place. Fast forward five years—I had worked my way up to operations manager, but something was missing. I wanted a place to call home, instead of living out of a suitcase. So, I decided to put down some roots. Now, here I am, living in Bangkok for the past year and doing what I love most: creating unforgettable trips and itineraries that let you experience Thailand the way I did. Whether you're planning a "backpacker budget, hostel-hopping, living-your-best-life" kind of adventure or you're more into the "boujee 5-star, private guide, luxury travel" scene, I've got you covered. Or maybe you want a mix of both? No problem! Let me craft your Thailand Dream Itinerary and show you why this country stole my heart. 🇹🇭🔥😎
