Amanda Zurita: freelance writer, editor, world traveler and long time supporter of the Gossip & Glamour Style Summit. If Amanda looks familiar, it's because she's actually a Style Summit veteran. She was our first-ever Keynote speaker back in 2016 when we launched the summit, and, like a boss, delivered a beautiful keynote before embarking on a 12-month global travel adventure a.k.a. "remote year". This time around, Amanda joined the "Fashion Essentials" panel at the style summit sharing tips on content creation and the lost art of writing. 

In her Facebook LIVE interview with Darcy Camden, Amanda talks about everything from her insane travel schedule (she's gone each spring/fall in Spain and Italy doing tours and guidebook research for Rick Steves) and talks about her latest passion project, UGH Life, a digital media platform for women. UGH loosely stands for Ultimate Girls Handbook and is a place for women to tell their stories and bond over shared experiences. Watch Amanda's full Facebook LIVE interview.
