Greetings! I'm Amanda Akers, a passionate explorer always seeking new adventures beyond the confines of my everyday life. Despite not having many opportunities to travel during my childhood, I stumbled upon an unexpected avenue for exploration in my adult years—competitive kickball. Yes, that's right, the same kickball we all played in grade school. Surprisingly, those exhilarating weekend trips ignited a profound wanderlust within me.

​

In 2022, while planning my excursion to St. Croix, I found myself scouring the island's tourist website for travel tips. That moment sparked a realization: why not immerse myself in the vibrant world of travel blogs? Upon returning from that remarkable island experience, I embarked on a personal journey of my own creation: Akers Away. Through this blog, my ultimate aspiration is to assist fellow travelers by sharing my insights on cities I've had the pleasure of visiting, and perhaps even inspire others to embark on their own transformative journeys.

Join me on this exciting adventure and let Akers Away be your travel companion and source of inspiration!
