Hey, I'm Amanda
Hi, I am Amanda, one of the founders of Honeyguide. On my adventures, I take you into the story behind my favourite places. From forest cabins hidden in the woods, special observatories, holistic coffee shops to experiences that bring you closer to animals and nature. Will you come around the campfire?

“ Honeyguide inspires through meaningful experiences. We share the story behind a place, its people and its wildlife. I see Honeyguide as a response to mass tourism; slow travel close to home with a focus on small-scale and unique businesses. ”
