ABOUT US
My passion, your adventure.
Stories that stay with you.
Amanda Navarra
FOUNDER & TRAVEL DESIGNER
Travel has been my lifelong obsession. For me, it’s never been about checking boxes or staying behind a resort fence—it’s about the people you meet and the lives they lead. I founded Epicurious Adventure Travel as a mission to help others have the kind of deep, authentic experiences I’ve spent my life chasing.
We build journeys for the curious. Instead of the standard tourist track, our itineraries are designed to help you see a destination for what it actually is. We prioritize substance over status, providing a sophisticated, comfortable experience without the inflated luxury markup.
We believe a shared meal—or a shared glass—is the most direct way to understand a place. It’s how you break down barriers and actually connect with a community. As a woman-owned business, we see ourselves as stewards of these cultural, culinary, and spirits traditions. My job is to handle the logistical heavy lifting and provide real-time support while you’re on the move, so your only job is to stay present and focus on the story.

TESTIMONIALS
“A huge shout to the travel expert (Amanda) that hooked up the bomb-61st bday that ended with an embarrassing amount of food, yummy local beer, and a surprise ending where the crowd was shouting “Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Jeffrey! ”
“We appreciated Amanda helping us out with lodging, transfers, and tours for our European trip in October 2025. I had first contacted another travel agency and was taken aback by the price they quoted. Amanda listened to what we wanted, diligently researched and got us a nearly identical itinerary to the first one - at a savings of close to $9,000.00!! We are so grateful to her and are so excited about the trip!! Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Best 25th Anniversary Trip Ever!
Amanda planned the most amazing cruise and Lisbon pre-trip for our 25th anniversary. Every detail was flawless! From private transfers to dinner reservations and a custom itinerary for every port, she made it stress-free and so enriching. We even saved over $5,000 thanks to her expertise. Truly unforgettable!”
