I’m Amy! Welcome to the Traveling Tulls!
After decades of exploring the world together, my husband Dave and I have learned how to travel lighter, smarter, with purpose —and a good sense of humor. With my background in science, research, and tech, I use a science-based approach to packing that’s helped thousands of people travel lighter, smarter, and with more confidence.
Here at TravelingTulls, we focus on meaningful, lower-impact adventures. We love wildlife encounters, authentic cultural experiences, and sometimes a touch of luxury — especially when we’re traveling with friends or need a little extra ease for our bodies. That’s what intentional travel looks like for us: thoughtful choices that support both the planet and our well-being.
If you’re ready to travel responsibly, joyfully, and in a way that honors this beautiful planet, you’re in the right place. We’re here to inspire you to chase your bucket-list dreams—while leaving the world a little better for our children and grandchildren.
Read my story to see how I used my education, and a lifetime of work skills, to develop strategies for sustainable travel.

Our home, Massachusetts and New England
New England, the northeast corner of the U.S., is an exceptional travel destination. Where else can you find history, culture & top sports teams, within a day’s drive from mountains to ski, or long stretches of beach to explore? I’ve lived most of my life in New England so I may be biased 😉, but read more and decide for yourself!
