About Me

Hallgrymskyrka in Reykjavik.....
Hallgrymskyrka in Reykjavik.....

For me, travel is not a "bucket list"  of places to check-off.  I believe travel is much more... a series of evolving experiences.  One of my earliest memories is pressing my face against the airplane window staring out at the clouds from above them....I am about 2 years old and flying to visit family in Sweden.  Fast-forward from there to age 21 when I worked as a flight attendant flying to Europe weekly, exhausted at times, but always mindful and present to the new places and people around me.  My logo phrase, "Let's Go Somewhere..." evolved from a time in life when I did not yet have children, but had time off, and literally went to the airport, stared at the "Departures" screen in the terminal, and chose a destination to go next and explore.  My last destinations included New Year's Eve in Iceland and summer in Sweden.

I specialize in thoughtfully planned group travel experiences.  I alsohave a distinctive focus on Scandinavia and European river cruising. As a certified Groups Specialist through Travel Leaders Network, I bring advanced expertise in group contracting, supplier partnerships, and strategic planning to every journey I design.With my Scandinavian heritage and deep appreciation for Nordic culture, I enjoy creating immersive experiences in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and beyond — blending history, design, wellness, and the concept of lagom, the art of balance. I recommend travel that allows clients to connect meaningfully with destination and with one another.River cruising is one of my core specialties. My clients enjoy the intimacy, enrichment, and seamless logistics river voyages provide — making them ideal for hosted and affinity groups. I work closely with cruise lines and tour partners to secure added value, thoughtful amenities, and well-structured itineraries that elevate the group experience.From concept to departure, I manage the details so group leaders can focus on building connection and community. Exceptional group travel should feel effortless, enriching, and unforgettable — and that is the standard I deliver.

  Like you, I travel to quench my curiosity, to settle a "mood" or to celebrate meaningful events in the time lines of life.  To me, travel can ignite mindful periods away from the mundane....it is something to always look forward to and something special to remember.  I am grateful for these experiences and today, I not only travel, but sell travel to share expertise from these experiences with you.  Are you ready, "Let's Go Somewhere...!"

My 5 star ratings:

"AnnaMaria created a fantastic vacation for us. She checked in regularly and helped every step of the way. She made travelling overseas so easy."

"Our trip was first scheduled during the early months of Covid. AnnaMaria was very helpful coordinating things when we had to reschedule (twice). Additionally she alerted us to the best airfares and esp., on return flight, a reasonable nonstop option."

Truly, a real pleasure
Reviewed By Susana - MIAMI | Traveled to Cape Cod ~ Massachusetts ~ USA
An exceptional agent-- Anna Maria is knowledgeable, caring, attentive to details and extremely thoughtful.
Our original trip was to Sicily and the "boot of Italy." She did excellent research and found back-to-back tours that covered all the areas we wanted to visit. Globus cancelled the tours. My husband contracted COVID and during this time she was supportive and even sent a Starbucks gift card to wish him well.
We decided to travel in the US rather than abroad and chose Cape Cod. She was helpful, attentive , followed through with Globus regarding the weather in the area due to the Canadian fires and when our tour was cancelled again she re-booked us on another date and assisted in receiving partial credit for the airfare we had booked on our own.
Prior to the trip she sent a pictorial book of Cape Cod and kept in touch with us. Upon our return a welcome message was awaiting.
I highly recommend her and will certainly use her services on future travels.
