About
I've lived in six countries across five continents and traveled to over twenty countries in total. I am constantly hungry for more! Travel is my life, and all I've ever wanted to do. Researching local travel experiences, flight and hotel deals is an avid hobby of mine, which I'm transforming into a career. I'm here to find the best deals, local spots, unique ideas and unlock exclusive perks for you. All of which will fit within your personal travel style and budget. Working with clients is a collaboration for me, where their input is equally important as my expertise.
Travel style
Originally a hostel lover and off-the-beaten-path, budget backpacker, my travel style is becoming more refined. But no matter where I sleep, I prefer to spend my day with the locals. I want to learn about their history through their own personal stories. It's important for me to support local businesses, shops, artists, restaurants and tour guides while traveling.
Food, art, local culture and history, live music and nature (specifically deserted beaches and reggae bars) are my main points of interest while traveling. I have a passion for street food and hole-in-the-wall joints, where someone's grandmother is the head chef. I love absorbing all the sensations of local bazaars and open-air markets, while imagining that I'm a part of the everyday hustle and bustle of the land. I hunger for unique and traditional experiences that aren't found in your average travel blog or guide books. Getting lost or feeling displaced has led to some of my most cherished travel memories. Like the time I hopped on a local, city bus in Rome, just to get out of the rain, and I was transported past all the famous sites one would want to see in that glorious town!
As a Fora Travel Advisor, not only can I plan and arrange an epic itinerary for you, book you a killer hotel with possible perks and discounts, but I can also offer you a deeper insight into the land you will be visiting. I can extend my knowledge of geography, history, cultural mores and taboos (don't hand an Indonesian anything with the left hand!), navigating public transportation, understanding local laws (chewing gum is strictly outlawed in Singapore!), how to bypass language barriers, general packing and travel tips and fun facts about the destination you plan on visiting.

Anna Maria's reviews
Anna ensured that all of my travel needs were met once we discussed what I wanted to do for my five-day vacation. We were in constant contact and all of my questions were answered. Her suggestions were on point about places to visit and explore. I particularly liked that we were able to meet over Zoom to discuss things that were too numerous to go into detail via email. She was professional, knowledgeable, and checked on me during my stay to ensure that everything was going smoothly and offered any assistance again. Thank you again, Anna!!
