Bespoke, Luxury, and Personalized Travel Designer

I’m Anneke, the proud owner of AM|FM Luxury + Adventure Travel of Bend, Oregon (founded in Phoenix, Arizona).
With my unique perspective as a mom to two incredible adopted kiddos, I bring a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to assist you in planning your dream vacation, no matter the challenges you may face.
As a passionate foodie and lover of craft brews, I have a knack for adapting to any environment, as long as there is music or trivia to keep me entertained. Immerse me in a new culture, and I come alive with excitement, seeking out local activities, events, and any chance to talk story. One of the highlights of my travel adventures is connecting with the locals, as they provide a genuine insight into the heart and soul of a destination. When it comes to indulging in the good life, I excel. Live music, media-worthy cuisine, generous pours, luxurious spa and resort stays, and farm-to-table experiences are my true passions. I have a deep appreciation for the finer things in life and believe that every moment should be savored.
My love for travel knows no bounds, but I am particularly obsessed with the Hawaiian Islands, the Mediterranean, and Southern Africa. The beauty and allure of these destinations have captured my heart, and I can't wait to share my enthusiasm and expertise with you and your fellow adventurers.
Together, we will make your lifelong travel dreams a reality!

To Anneke and the entire AMFM Family, we want to thank you for making our trip to Dubai and the Maldives a once in a lifetime experience!

We had a trip of a LIFETIME... Everything was perfect. Already planning another return to So. Africa. Thank YOU for making all our travel plans and tours. BEST TRIP EVER.
Maui no ka oi!
Anneke went over and above to plan a week-long vacation to Maui for our family. She got better prices than I could ever get and ensured all the details were lined up. We travel often, and let me tell you...having her plan this trip was so stress-free that I will not travel any other way from now on! I didn't have to worry or spend hours piecing it together. We enjoyed our trip from start to finish, and I wasn't the stressed-out mom. I was able to relax and have fun! We loved the hotel she recommended, the activities she lined up for us, and everything in between. Thank you, Anneke! We can't wait to start planning our next trip with you!
