Seamless, highly personalized travel defined by access, discretion, and thoughtful detail.
Amanda Poses is the founder of Poses Travel & Co., a boutique luxury travel agency known for designing highly personalized journeys defined by access, insight, and seamless execution. A Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist, Amanda partners with a global network of leading hotels, on-the-ground experts, and hospitality insiders to create travel experiences that feel effortless while offering moments not easily accessed independently.
Her perspective on travel was shaped early through time spent in cities such as Moscow, Milan, Paris, and London. Experiences that cultivated a lasting appreciation for culture, design, and a strong sense of place. That foundation evolved into a career centered on helping clients experience destinations with greater depth, intention, and ease.
Prior to launching Poses Travel & Co., Amanda spent more than two decades in retail, fashion, and events, where anticipating client needs and orchestrating complex experiences was second nature. Today, that background informs her meticulous yet intuitive approach, balancing precision, discretion, and thoughtful curation to ensure every journey feels personal and impeccably considered.
As the founder of Poses Travel & Co., Amanda leads a team of advisors aligned with her approach to access, discretion, and white-glove service, extending the same elevated experience across every client relationship.
Now traveling extensively with her family from their home base in Austin, Amanda remains closely attuned to the evolving landscape of luxury hospitality, dining, and culture, translating firsthand experience into recommendations that feel both current and enduring.
When the kids are in tow, my husband and I enjoy exploring touring big cities. I’m enamored by the challenge of constantly staying ahead of the latest trends in the realm of dining, fashion, and unique sightseeing; our personal trips help make this possible. As a family, we also love the national parks as a way to embrace the beauty of America’s wide-open spaces! But when given the opportunity to jet off alone with my husband, we adore Italy. I have such fond memories sipping wine on Hotel Splendido’s patio overlooking the sea.
During festive 2021, my family went to South Africa and Botswana on an absolutely epic safari. It was a truly magical experience between the incredible lodges, game viewing, and immersion into nature. We will treasure these memories forever – from the breakfasts in the bush, first lion sighting (within arm’s reach!), seeing a gorgeous leopard at sunrise, and learning how the animals behave in their natural environment through our knowledgable guides. Being on a screen-free vacation with two teenagers is every parent’s dream!
