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.

Anne's reviews
We are a family of four with two young boys from Europe, and we wanted to do something special this summer—visit Hawaii! It was one of my top three bucket list destinations. Living a busy lifestyle and traveling halfway across the globe, we needed help! I remembered seeing some great posts from Anne on social media, so I contacted her for some tips on planning such a trip. It turned out she is a travel advisor for Fora!
We had a Zoom meeting, and that was the beginning of the best trip we ever had. She advised us on which islands to visit, booked all our hotels, a rental car, some excursions, and most importantly, provided the best advice possible – on where to stay, what to do, where to go, even where to eat!
She was there for us when we needed her, assisting with rebooking hotels after we got bumped from our flight to the US, and she checked in on us to ensure everything was going smoothly. The blend of professional and personal touch was perfect!
What we also really liked is that we had all our documents and the entire itinerary in an app—no papers, no fuss, and all available at any time. I would highly recommend her and Fora. In fact, I already have!
