About
I'm a food scientist who loves falling down the travel research rabbit hole. I'll do everything in my power to avoid bad food and a bad bed on vacation. The best feeling is walking into a trendy, busy restaurant and being seated right away because *you have a reservation.*

Travel style
I'm part travel advisor, part research scientist and part counselor. Tell me how you really feel about this vacation you're planning. I'm not afraid to look like the bad guy to ensure you get the trip you want, so think of me as your "Karen for good" type travel planner. I'm traveling most of the year, so you're not only getting advice based on my research, but advice based on my own-lived experiences. I travel solo 70% of the time, and I'm super passionate about helping other women feel confident and safe traveling solo, too. I love the intersection of high-low travel. I have a tendency to book a nice hotel then eat at a hole in the wall restaurant. Good is good — period. I know that a higher price does not always equate better quality, but will splurge when it's worth it. I love to plan travel around food and experiences. I'm not a big partier, and will always do an epic hike or spa day over an epic bar. I have two dogs that I love to travel with whenever I can. Ask me your dog-friendly travel questions! Lastly, you'll never catch me without my 5-step skincare routine and collagen facemasks for long-haul flights.

Anna's reviews
Working with Anna was amazing! I usually plan my trips on my own, but Anna made the decision making so much easier by advising on neighborhoods, finding local tours, and staying within my budget. Would and will definitely recommend working with her to others who love to travel but might not have a ton of time to invest in researching everything they want to do / where to stay.

This was a multi stop trip. Our first stop in Scottsdale was at the Andaz in Scottsdale. Complimentary breakfast each day and great dinner recommendations while we were there. Then on to New Orleans! The Higgins Hotel was the perfect location for us and again we had wonderful dining recommendations plus a swamp and plantation tour. All our stops were laid out beautifully plus some wiggle room! Great job and we are looking forward to our Hearst Castle/Santa Barbara/Pebble Beach trip in October!

Anna is an exceptional travel advisor. She seamlessly handled all of our booking details and correspondence with the resort. She is incredibly proactive and I was grateful to be able to relax knowing that we were in her capable hands. Anna provided thoughtful recommendations for lodging, and also took it upon herself to share recommendations for local food, drink, and activities. And of course, her recommendations were always on point! We greatly appreciate Anna’s thoughtful and personalized service and will definitely work with her again!
