My Story
Travel has always been my greatest passion, and I’ve spent years planning adventures for myself and others simply for the joy of it. My experience working with two of the world’s most recognized brands in travel and hospitality only deepened my love for creating meaningful journeys and inspired me to turn that passion into a business. As a travel advisor, my goal is to open your eyes to possibilities you may not have considered and help bring your travel dreams to life.
Travel Style
What sets my approach apart is the way I design highly curated, personalized itineraries with an eye for every detail. I love weaving in hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path experiences that transform a trip from memorable to truly unforgettable. When you book with me, you’ll get more than just a plan—you’ll get a journey tailored to you, filled with moments you might never have discovered on your own.

travel to New York City

Anne was wonderful! I needed help planning a four day trip to NYC because I didn't have time to sift through all the online resources to try to plan an itinerary, including booking a hotel and narrowing our "must see" list to something that would be doable with 2 kids and the short time we had.
I shared a list of top tourist sites with Anne and what we hoped to see. She came back with a full itinerary, and even added a food tour of Greenwich Village which ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. The food tour is something we never would have booked ourselves. She lined up transportation from the airport to help us get into the city easily when we arrived, and with each day's schedule included instructions on which subway line to take to get to our destinations. These added touches made us feel prepared to take on the city that never sleeps!
We will definitely work with Anne again on planning our next big trip.

We were very fortunate to have Anne arrange our Holland America cruise to the Norwegian fjords for us. We had specific preferences regarding our cabin, prepaid packages, hotels, and she arranged them all very well. She exceeded our expectations and was very good with keeping us informed regarding the cruise. Having a Travel Advisor is the way to enhance any trip.

Anne is a fantastic travel advisor. She helped me with not only my trip to Tokyo, but also my trip to Hong Kong which was amazing. She picked out an amazing hotel and helped me plan my trip keeping my schedule in mind as well as what I was interested in seeing and doing. She took the time to listen to my particular needs and knocked it out of the park. Way to go, Anne.

travel to Costa Rica

Working with Anne made our family's trip to Costa Rica light and stress-free. We have always planned trips ourselves, but in embarking on our first international trip with our kids, we wanted someone with expertise. Anne planned a custom trip with our budget and family's activity (and even dietary!) preferences at the forefront. She crafted a thoughtful itinerary and supplied the most thorough and organized daily schedule with tickets attached and detailed daily instructions and recommendations. It took the brain power off our plates so we had the capacity to enjoy our family time without the stress about any logistics.
I would recommend Anne to anyone looking for a meaningful trip, big or small. She is communicative, listened to what we said about our family, and maximized our budget. It was well worth the expense so we could simply show up and enjoy. Thank you, Anne! We look forward to working with you and traveling the world!

travel to Brussels

I recently worked with Anne to plan a beer-focused trip to Belgium with a group of friends, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish.
She found fantastic accommodations throughout the trip, especially in Brussels, where we stayed at a hotel that was perfect for our group. The hotel treated us like VIPs: we were welcomed with complimentary wine and snacks, and I even received an unexpected room upgrade, which was a wonderful surprise after a long travel day.
What really stood out was her level of support before and during the trip. At one point I became ill and needed to change my travel plans, and she was immediately available and handled the adjustments quickly and seamlessly. That level of responsiveness was incredibly helpful.
This trip made me fully appreciate the value of working with a travel advisor. The expertise, access, and support made the experience noticeably better, and it was absolutely worth it.

South Africa: Where Safari Meets Coast and Culture
South Africa holds a special place for me as the setting for my first safari—an experience that’s impossible to replicate, no matter how many follow. There’s something unforgettable about seeing wildlife in its natural environment for the first time, and South Africa offers that in a way that feels both immersive and accessible. What makes it especially compelling is the variety: you can pair safari with Cape Town and the Winelands for a well-rounded trip, or extend further to Victoria Falls or the beaches of Mozambique. It’s also one of the most logistically straightforward—and often more affordable—ways to experience a high-quality safari.

Anguilla: Where Simplicity Meets the Sea
Anguilla is defined by its natural beauty and laid-back authenticity. The beaches are stunning—soft white sand and water so clear it hardly feels real—yet they remain uncrowded and unspoiled. Days drift between independent beach bars and excellent local restaurants, where everything feels relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious. It’s a place that captures the essence of the Caribbean without the crowds or commercialization.
