ambassadorAmanda Zito

Born and raised in Western Montana, Amanda spent her childhood on her family's ranch, riding horses. After moving to Portland, Oregon for college, Amanda decided that if she couldn't ride her horses regularly, a natural next step was to get on a motorcycle - a fun and less expensive way to travel back home for routine visits.

Amanda's love of cooking was inspired by growing up in a household of 6 kids. Her mom made sure that as soon as the kids could climb the counter, they could cook something in the microwave for when they were hungry!

Now, Amanda moto-travels across the country, and beyond, sharing her passion for riding, traveling and cooking!
