My name is Amanda and I am the founder of Adventures with Ducki. I believe travel helps us learn about ourselves and others, and through travel we are able to foster meaningful experiences and connections. I was pre-med during my undergraduate years but later realized that sometimes the best healing is not done in an office but rather by getting out and experiencing life. My goal is to help you experience the things that call to you and bring you joy. Whether you are looking for a companion to a social event, want to vacation at your own pace without a group, or wish to travel without the hassle of planning, I can help. Adventures with Ducki is a Travel Companion Service that provides customized trip planning. I work with children and adults of all ages with a range of mental, cognitive, and physical abilities needing extra help or supervision. I am based in the Minnesota Twin Cities area and am able to travel from any starting point offering door-to-door service or can meet you along the way. Available for travel locally, nationally, or globally.

Life happens, and I know that our circumstances don’t define us - they inspire new possibilities. In 2023, I first learned about travel companions shortly before getting into a motorcycle accident. I had to postpone the training course while I recuperated and a year later I became a Certified Senior TravALZ Companion and started Adventures with Ducki. Regardless of your travel style, I know the importance of pacing, adaptability, and managing expectations. No matter where you’re starting from I understand that with the right mindset and a little creativity we can adapt the experience to make your trip a reality. Traveling has brought me so much joy and I hope to help you achieve your travel goals too. Let’s turn your dream into an adventure!
