About

Thank you for stopping by my profile I am an at home agent, with my office being anywhere in the world! I am based in upstate New York, with winters in beautiful Naples Florida! The more information you can give at the beginning, the better it is to see if we will be a good fit. An estimate can never be given without important "qualifying questions" being answered. I do not send my clients anywhere that I wouldn't stay myself. I treat each vacation as it is my own. I do the US, but not Las Vegas or Disney. The more complicated the itinerary the better, I love challenges! If you don't know where to go, I can find the perfect location based on your likes and dislikes. My favorite location to sell Is Greece, with Thailand and Bali a close second. I sell alot of Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Spain, Ireland,France and the Caribbean. Norway and Portugal are popular this year!! I also sell a ton of Caribbean, mostly all Inclusives but do everything from that to Private Boat Charters. I sell cruises for any duration, ski , golf, family, groups, LGBTQ, Destination Weddings and Honeymoons. I am continually educating myself and visiting destinations to stay informed. I can help with budgets. If you are unsure of a budget, do a quick air search to get a foundation on what it will cost. Be realistic. There is a vacation for everyone's price range. Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you are even remotely considering a trip to Greece or anywhere, look no further and book RIGHT NOW with Wanderlust Adventures. Annie is the ideal travel agent, which I won't even call her that anymore. I now think of her as a friend with great traveling advice!! My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Greece and we could not have been happier with everything Annie put together for us. From the moment I contacted her, Annie was enthusiastic, confident, and extremely helpful. She got things done right away, and before we knew it we were on our way to Greece with no worries in the world. Annie takes all the worry out of traveling, and makes sure you are taken care of and all set to have an amazing time. She works within your budget and makes you feel like she is just as excited as you for your trip. We will definitely be using her for any future trips as well recommending her to all family and friends. Thank you Annie!!!!!!

Kalimera! Annie was absolutely AMAZING! This trip was literally a dream come true in every way for my husband and I. We went to Athens, Paros, Santorini, and Milos and are absolutely obsessed with Greece. We will 100% be going back again. The food was to die for, and the people are so welcoming and kind. Every island had personality and BEAUTY everywhere we looked. There are no words for how breathtaking and wonderful this trip was. This was our first trip planned with a Travel Agent, and I am so grateful that I found Annie. She was splendid in every way. Response time, personality, and she truly cared to make sure our trip would be perfect! I honestly felt as though I just made another great friend, with awesome travel intel! 😂 I will be using her for every one of our vacations in the future, 100%. On another note, because I feel this deserves mention. Between Annie, the travel agency she works with in Greece, and our hotel (Portiani) personnel in Milos... we were truly blessed. On our last day in Milos, before our three day journey home, I flipped an ATV with my husband and I on it. I shattered my heel bone in three places. As terrible as it was, it could have been worse. But having an extreme accident like this is never expected or fun, ESPECIALLY in a foreign country. All of the Greek ppl that that came to our aid were truly wonderful, and Annie did all she could to help us coordinate in our time of need. I cannot thank you enough! PS- I feel I need to mention... We were absolutely parked and taking in the sites in the silly photo I included with us on the ATV! Efharisto, Annie! ❤️☺️

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I rely on my suppliers for pricing. I also rely on them paying my commission, not my clients. If you end up taking the information I give you a booking it online I don't get paid! I only respond the requests that are in my area of expertise. I literally get hundreds of requests per day, so you have to be selective and serious on which ones you respond to.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I do is "qualify" them . Budget,type of vacation, what they are hoping to experience on their vacation, where they have already traveled, likes, dislikes and forming a relationship.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am continually educating myself as far as site inspections, webinars, familiarization trips, keeping abreast of all the new hotel openings and taking online classes is an integral part of being an agent and keeping up with what's going on in the world.
