bio

Hello my name is Anne and I’m so excited to be creating a trip of a lifetime! I’m so passionate about travel, adventures, getting outside and healing your soul with nature and experiences! I thrive when I’m exploring around the world and always planing my next big adventure! I once flew from Georgia to Arizona for only two days and drove 8 hours to two different sides of Arizona, one of the days hiked for 10 hours and then flew right back to work! So fun and crazy! I also absolutely am obsessed with being by water! I love waterfalls and the ocean so much! When I was little I wanted to be a marine biologist and work with dolphins! I also love paddle boarding, eating at new restaurants, playing with my dogs, learning about different cultures, crafting and cooking!
