I’m a writer, photographer, and outdoor enthusiast based in Baltimore, Maryland. I spend my free time exploring hiking trails, charming small towns, scenic overlooks, and unique places to stay throughout Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic.

Amanda in Motion began as a way to document my adventures, but it has grown into a place where I share detailed travel guides, hiking inspiration, photography, and personal stories from the road. Everything you’ll find here is based on places I’ve actually explored, with honest recommendations, practical tips, and plenty of photos along the way.

When I’m not exploring, I’m also a hospitality and travel photographer. I work with BnBs, cabins, campgrounds, and other unique destinations to create warm, calming images that tell the story of a place and inspire people to visit.

You’ll also find a collection of personal essays here. Spending time outdoors has taught me a lot about resilience, slowing down, and appreciating the present. From time to time, I share those experiences in hopes that they encourage someone else to get outside, try something new, or simply make the most of the weekends they have.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you discover your next favorite adventure here.
