Hello!
My name is Amanda.
My blog’s name is Grab Gelato & Go. Reliving my first trip to Italy with my family back in 2011 made of think of one thing in particular…My family would grab gelato and eat it on the go. Everyday (on vacation). We are all very active people, but we love to have our treats. So, Grab Gelato & Go was born.
My goal of this blog is to remember my thoughts and feelings of the places I travel to and the experiences I have since moving abroad. My husband, Andrew, and I recently moved from the USA to Germany, so there are a lot of emotions and changes that I want to make sure I can look back on. Travel is not my one and only, so there might be some posts thrown in there that have to deal with life-the good and the ugly.
I have been given this so longed for year of free time in Germany. How do I do it justice? I am using this blog as a way to hold myself accountable to accomplish what I told myself I would.
- Travel often
- Exercise more
- Eat healthier
- Find peace & forgive myself for past mistakes
- Read more books, including some that teach me a new skill
What should I add to my list to accomplish during my “1 year of anything”?
…
A little about me: I spent the last few years working as a Registered Nurse in oncology, mother/baby, and the NICU. Working with the vulnerable populations from birth to death has given me perspectives on life that I never thought I would have. I am obsessed with my pets. I try really hard to like cooking. My husband and I got married in January of 2023 in St. John USVI because we love it there. Through it all, God is first.
I hope some itineraries can help you in your travels, too. 🙂 I spend a ton of time on each trip, perfecting the itineraries to how I think it would work best for what I want to get out of it. So, just know there has been a lot of energy put into these vacations so they are usually pretty great!
Don’t hesitate to reach out to me!
Thank you for being here.
