Children's Book

"Lovely Amelia travels" is a book series about a little girl named Amelia who loves to teach and tell other children about the cities and countries she visits. She likes trying new foods and loves learning new languages. She makes new friends with each unique adventure and loves the indigenous animals she meets along the way. 

Through the pages of her cute little journal, Amelia gives us an exciting point of view while traveling with her parents on their exciting adventures. On this first book, Amelia travels to the wonderful Central American country of Costa Rica and the goals of this book are to stimulate a creative, traveling mind in the children who read the stories, encourage multicultural social interactions, create awareness and an interest in other cultures, encourage trying new healthy foods and to create a positive outlook on life through enjoying nature and an active lifestyle.

“Lovely Amelia Travels” is a children’s book series written by former private nanny Stephany Salazar Nelson. Stephany is native to Costa Rica and has worked internationally to assist many families in Hawaii, Italy, and the Carolinas of the United States.


Inspired by the children Stephany cared for in her 14-year career, she creates the character of a school-age girl named Amelia. Amelia travels around the world to exciting and beautiful destinations that Stephany was able to visit during her career. While the series is dedicated to these children, the storybooks have also been inspired by the travels of the children themselves.
