Annie is the traveler and storyteller behind Annie Travel Mindset, a blog helping women plan meaningful adventures with more confidence, intention, and freedom. For more than a decade, she has traveled largely solo—trekking to Machu Picchu, sleeping beneath the stars in the Sahara, swimming with manta rays in Bali, exploring the Philippines, going on safari in East Africa, and living beside Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. Through honest travel guides, realistic itineraries, and practical advice, Annie helps readers plan trips that feel exciting without becoming rushed or overwhelming. She also shares the quieter lessons travel can teach us about presence, courage, and creating a life that feels more aligned. When she is not writing or exploring, Annie is often underwater. She is a technical scuba diver with more than 11 PADI certifications, including Tec 40 and Tec 45.
