About
Former expat in Singapore and London before calling New York home. Passionate trip planner and foodie with a strong eye for interior design.
Travel style
Traveling is about recharging and finding inspiration through discovery of new places, culture and cuisine. I love to find the right balance of quiet luxury, “it” spots and hidden local gems with a focus on good food and wine. When it comes to planning my itineraries, I look for value for money and time, with just enough discovery sprinkled into the base of relaxation. In terms of hotels, I love a mix of local and contemporary design.

Ann 's reviews
Working with Ann was an absolute dream - she went way above and beyond to ensure my Mom and I had the best possible experience at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. Her recommendations and knowledge of the Lake Como area was extremely helpful, and she was able to book everything we needed seamlessly. She is extremely professional and a great communicator, when we needed to change our private boat tour at the last minute due to weather, she handled quickly and made sure we had an amazing time. The personal touches really took it over the top - from the thoughtful handwritten notes and treats upon arrival, to ensuring we were upgraded to a Lake View room, I'm so grateful we were able to work with her. I could not recommend Ann more for your upcoming travels - she will absolutely take your vacation to the next level and I can't wait to work with her in the future!

Our booking experience with Ann was lovely and seamless! She was an excellent communicator and ensured my Mom and I had a wonderful time at the Pulitzer Amsterdam. She went above and beyond when it came personal touches, upon our arrival we had a beautiful pastry and personalized note in our room along with a lovely framed photo of my Mom and I - such a thoughtful touch! Her knowledge of Amsterdam was so helpful and we loved her dining recommendations. Ann made our trip so special and we are beyond grateful for all of her help. We can't wait to book future trips with Ann!

Excellent experience! Ann leveraged her experience booking other first-time Japan trips for other clients to suggest a great initial itinerary, helping me overcome the overwhelming set of options I had been thinking about. Given my interests in Bonsai, theater, and other cultural elements, she customized and found great experiences and opportunities to augment that itinerary I had never heard of. Those locations ended up being just what I was looking for on my trip! Her restaurant selections were amazing - I have dietary preferences that can be difficult to handle in a place like Japan (no seafood), but Ann found exceptional restaurants covering so many different styles of traditional dishes. I found myself particularly looking forward to each night she had selected a venue. Overall, it was a great first experience in a new country. Ann helped me past my paralysis of planning to actually go on a trip, introduced me to options I hadn't been aware of or considered, and provided excellent directions, instructions, and guidance in each location.

Ann is a superstar. She understands the wants and needs of her clients and finds the best options for them. She picked ideal restaurants and experiences for us that matched our preferences perfectly. When the rare thing went awry — completely outside her control — she rectified them immediately. I have sent many of my friends to her for booking their dream vacations, and all have had an experience similar to mine. Ann loves traveling, and it shows.
