Experience
Amanda Ogle is a freelance writer and editor who reviews a wide range of products for various publications.

Favorite Review:
My favorite review so far has been one on zipperless luggage. It's a topic I've never really thought about, despite how much I travel. I always have zippered luggage, which eventually wears down and breaks. But zipperless luggage can change the game and last for years.
