About
I am a curator of experiences and connoisseur of all things art, food, wine and culture. Scottsdale-based with my bloodhound, Murphy, but you can often find me escaping on an impromptu adventure.

Travel style
When I travel, I seek more than just a getaway — I crave an immersive, luxurious experience that takes me far beyond the usual tourist traps. I’m all about venturing off the beaten path, exploring hidden gems and soaking in the richness of new cultures. For me, luxury is about authenticity, and nothing captures that better than diving into the local food scene. As a passionate foodie and certified sommelier, I hunt down the most authentic cuisine, savor exceptional dining experiences and indulge in spectacular wines. Every meal is an opportunity to discover something new, whether it’s a local dish made with age-old techniques or a rare bottle of wine from a hidden vineyard. But let’s be honest — while I’m all about adventure and culinary delights, the place I rest my head each night matters just as much. I’m obsessed with hotel rooms. The right room can elevate a trip, making it unforgettable, while a lackluster one can do the opposite. From the comfort of the bedding to the views from the balcony, a beautifully designed hotel room is my sanctuary after a day of exploration, and I believe it sets the tone for the entire journey. In short, my travel style is all about luxury, culture and the joy of discovery — both on the plate and off the map.

We had a wonderful experience working with Anne Travous for our recent getaway to The Phoenician in Scottsdale! From start to finish, Anne made the entire process seamless and personalized. She truly listened to what we were hoping for and crafted a stay that exceeded our expectations.
Every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned, and the resort she recommended was perfect. Our room was excellent, and we loved the amenities — especially the pool and the overall atmosphere. Anne’s attention to detail and genuine care made the experience effortless and enjoyable from the moment we arrived.
We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with her. If you're looking for a travel advisor who makes the experience as exceptional as the destination itself, we can't recommend Anne highly enough!
