Amanda Hietter: CEO of Across the Horizon Travel – Crafting Experiences, Creating Connections

For Amanda Hietter, the founder and CEO of Across the Horizon Travel, travel is more than a career—it’s a calling. Amanda’s journey into the world of travel didn’t start with a traditional path; it began with a dream rooted in passion, purpose, and a deep love for exploring new places. Today, she specializes in international group travel, romance travel, and curating retreats while helping her clients dream big and travel even bigger.

The Early Vision

Amanda’s vision for Across the Horizon Travel was inspired by her own love for adventure and her desire to share the magic of travel with others. While working in a demanding corporate role, Amanda felt a strong pull towards something more fulfilling—a career that would allow her to make a real impact in people’s lives. Travel had always been a source of joy, healing, and connection for her, and she realized it could be the same for others. She envisioned a business that would take the stress out of travel planning and create personalized, transformative experiences for clients.

Defining Her “Why”

At the core of Amanda’s work is her “why”: the belief that travel has the power to change lives. It’s not just about visiting new destinations; it’s about creating memories, building relationships, and experiencing the world in a meaningful way. Amanda’s mission is to help her clients see the world through fresh eyes and return home with a new perspective. Whether it’s a jungle retreat in Costa Rica or a spiritual journey through the Holy Land, Amanda’s goal is to curate trips that go beyond the surface and leave a lasting impact.

A Leap of Faith

In April 2024, Amanda faced a defining moment that would change the course of her career. After years of balancing her corporate job with her growing travel business, she made the courageous decision to leave her stable paralegal position and go full-time with Across the Horizon Travel. It was a leap of faith that required trust in her vision, her skills, and the relationships she had built. This decision marked a turning point, allowing her to dedicate herself fully to her passion and serve her clients with the energy and focus they deserved.

Quitting the corporate world wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Amanda realized she had reached a crossroads: either stay in a job that felt comfortable but unfulfilling, or pursue the dream that had been calling her for years. By choosing the latter, she embraced the uncertainty of entrepreneurship and opened herself up to a world of new possibilities. This pivotal moment set her on a path she never expected, leading to incredible growth, new connections, and a sense of purpose that fueled her forward.

Growing the Dream in 2024

Since taking the leap, Amanda has seen her vision expand in ways she never imagined. 2024 has been a transformative year for Across the Horizon Travel, marked by new partnerships, exciting projects, and a stronger presence in the travel industry. Amanda has collaborated with life coaches and inspirational speakers, offering unique retreats that combine travel with personal development. These experiences have resonated with clients seeking not just a vacation, but a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Amanda also focused on building relationships with financial advisors and corporate clients, showing them how travel can be a tool for wellness, relaxation, and connection. By curating specialized travel packages that cater to the needs of high-net-worth individuals, business executives, and family groups, Amanda has expanded her client base and solidified her reputation as a trusted travel advisor.

Learning and Perseverance

The road to success hasn’t been without its challenges. Amanda has navigated obstacles with perseverance, constantly learning and adapting to meet the needs of her clients. She discovered that the key to overcoming setbacks is a combination of resilience and a willingness to pivot. When faced with unexpected changes in the travel landscape, she embraced innovative solutions and found creative ways to deliver exceptional experiences for her clients.

One of the most valuable lessons Amanda has learned is the importance of community. Her network of mentors, peers, and fellow entrepreneurs has been instrumental in her growth. She actively participates in a masterminding group called Business Leaders Network, where she finds inspiration and support from other ambitious entrepreneurs. The encouragement of the BLN community provided her with a platform to share her story, make new connections, and collaborate with like-minded professionals.

The Power of Connection

Amanda’s success is rooted in her ability to connect with people. Whether she’s building relationships with clients, collaborating with partners, or networking with industry leaders, Amanda’s genuine care and interest in others set her apart. She believes that the best travel experiences are those that are deeply personal and tailored to the individual. By taking the time to understand her clients’ desires, she’s able to create customized itineraries that exceed expectations.

In 2024, Amanda made valuable new connections, including a pastor from her church for the Footsteps of Jesus Tour and a relationship coach for personalized marriage retreats. These collaborations have not only enriched her business but have also expanded the impact of her travel services. Working with partners who share her commitment to creating meaningful experiences has been a rewarding part of her journey.

Words of Wisdom

For those aspiring to follow their dreams, Amanda’s advice is clear: “Don’t wait for the perfect moment; create it. If you have a vision that sets your soul on fire, pursue it with everything you have. Surround yourself with people who believe in your potential and are willing to support your journey. Be open to learning, embrace challenges as opportunities, and remember that every setback is a setup for a comeback.”

Amanda’s journey with Across the Horizon Travel is a testament to the power of dreaming big and taking bold steps toward your passion. Her story is one of perseverance, growth, and the belief that the world is full of possibilities waiting to be explored.

Looking Ahead

As Amanda looks to the future, she’s excited about continuing to grow her business and help more clients create unforgettable memories. With her deep knowledge of the travel industry, a strong network of collaborators, and a passion that drives her every day, Amanda is ready to take Across the Horizon Travel to new heights. She invites you to join her on this journey, to dream big, and to discover the joy and wonder of exploring the world.
