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.

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!

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.

If you’ve never worked with a travel advisor before, you might think it’s just about booking flights and hotels—but working with Anne showed us it is so much more. We likely would never have even visited Costa Rica if it weren't for her vision and guidance. She didn't just book a trip; she curated an experience that perfectly balanced joy and exhilaration for our entire family.
The real magic, however, was in the 'invisible' value Anne provided. We were treated like VIPs from the moment we arrived, enjoying room upgrades and special touches that we never could have secured on our own. Anne has a way of anticipating needs you didn't even know you had, ensuring every selection added value to our journey. She truly thought of everything, and we are already deep into planning our next adventure with her!

We were offered a couple of options so it was nice to consider alternatives and then choose our preferred hotel.

Anne was excellent. She provided the guidance we needed to find the perfect location. When asked to contact the hotel to inform them of a late arrival, she promptly did so. We would not hesitate to use Anne again for travel help and recommendations.

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.
