About
Amanda Araujo
Founder & Lead Travel Designer
The finest journeys feel effortless to the traveler. That’s the feeling I design for.

My Story
Service was my first language.
I was born in Rio de Janeiro and built my career in New York City, managing spas for guests who noticed every detail. It’s where I learned that the finest service is the kind you never notice.
Fourteen years ago, I brought that same care to travel. Six years ago, I founded LAMB Luxury Travel, a boutique agency where clients work with me personally.
Today I design journeys across the globe, from Europe’s great capitals to river cruises, island getaways and milestone celebrations. Whether you’ve seen much of the world or are planning the journey you’ve imagined for years, I’m with you from start to finish. I also speak Portuguese fluently, a quiet advantage in Lisbon, the Algarve and Brazil.
Luxury isn’t a price point. It’s the feeling that someone has thought of everything.
Working With Me
The way I work.
Me, directly
You’ll never be passed along. When you reach out, you reach me.
An advocate
When plans shift, I’m already handling it, often before you’ve had to ask.
Designed around you
It all begins with listening, and every itinerary carries my personal touch.
Trusted connections
Years of relationships with hotels and partners around the world mean someone is always looking out for you.
In Practice
What it looks like when it counts.
- Up at 5 a.m. on my own vacation, rebooking clients so their journey home stayed on course.
- An upgrade on a long-haul flight home from Europe that my clients never saw coming.
- Snowstorms and cancellations met with a clear plan and a steady voice.
- Hotel teams who know my clients are coming, and make sure they feel it the moment they arrive.

My Clients
My clients value being well looked after, and they recognize it when they see it. Many arrive by introduction, from someone who has already traveled with me.
