Hello or Ia Ora Na in Tahitian!
As a native of the small European country of Belgium, I have traveled and experienced other cultures and different language settings since I was a teenager. My home town was always a bit too small for me, so I expanded my horizons in Finland as an exchange student, in the USA as a nanny, in the Netherlands, in London, and I finally settled in the beautiful state of Arizona (Phoenix)!
As I have always been fascinated by azure waters, tropical settings and drinks from a coconut, I have focused my Luxury Travel Advisor role on my true passion: The islands of the Central and South Pacific!
I have visited French Polynesia twice in the last two years and have first-hand and in-depth knowledge of these beautiful islands. I am eager to share this invaluable knowledge with you so your bucket list luxury vacation with your loved one(s) to Tahiti and Islands will become the most memorable ever.
I believe in creating reliable professional relationships and networks with tour operators, tour companies and other professionals in the industry in the regions I specialize in. It will provide great value to you as we work together on crafting the most memorable itinerary for you (whether it is land-based or a cruise, or even a combination of both!).
My own favorite way to travel is on the Paul Gauguin cruise in the South Pacific. It is simply the best way to see the islands and it comes with 5 star service! Once you disembark, you will have gained a few pounds, but also some new friends and a family in the Paul Gauguin crew!
Please contact me at [email protected] should you wish to set up a call to receive a free quote for your dream stay in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, a romantic cruise on the m/s Paul Gauguin with your honey or an exclusive resort stay at Tetiaroa...
Let's go on this journey together and create memories for you that will last a lifetime!

Strongly recommend working with Ann!
Reviewed By Deb - New York, NY | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
From start to finish, Ann was an incredible resource for us, as we planned our 15th wedding anniversary trip. Ann fielded my *many* questions quickly and with expertise - and always with an upbeat and positive attitude. She let me know what was possible and what wasn't - my family has a unique set of (great!) circumstances that makes planning a trip particularly challenging - and Ann worked within our constraints to send us on a vacation that was absolutely what we were looking for. She did not consider her job done when we were booked - she checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed up to our journey's start, and checked in with us after, to ensure everything was as it should have been. Ann cut through the clutter of too-much-information available on the internet, got us the real, informed scoop on the place we were going, and got us the vacation we were dreaming of. What a difference it made, to use an expert, versus trying to do this on my own. Huge thanks!!

Dream vacation in Cambodia
Reviewed By Traveling Hoosier - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Cambodia ~ East and Southeast Asia
We contacted Daily Travel Dose to provide us with a two-week customized tour of Cambodia for a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers). We could not have been more pleased with the result. From day one, Ann Bishop listened to our requests and wishes, made recommendations based on her own experiences, and quickly put together a draft of a proposed itinerary. After several reviews, we settled on an incredible tour at an amazing price point. The trip itself exceeded our expectations: the local guides were fantastic and knowledgeable, the hotels were fabulous, and the local tour operator was very responsive to last minute requests. We highly recommend Daily Travel Dose, and will definitely entrust Ann with our future travel adventures! I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Phenomenal trip to Disney & Universal!
Reviewed By Deb - New York, NY | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Ann is a consistently fantastic travel concierge. This was the 2nd trip we went on through Ann - and I am 100% certain we will work with her again.We have complex travel needs that would probably turn a less customer-focused professional off. Ann does not back down from a challenge, and embraced working with us! She worked directly with the property to advocate for us on many levels - taking away all stress from us in planning this trip.
Going to Disney and Universal with 3 kids is a big deal (logistically, financially, emotionally). Ann was absolutely fluent in all aspects of visiting both franchises, and used her expertise to make sure we optimized our time there, and got the most out of our visit. She gave us insider tips and went above and beyond in researching every aspect of what we wanted to do with our kids.
Ann did not consider her work done, once we were booked. She checked in before and on arrival - and followed up after. A true professional!

Ann is wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations when we went to Arizona. She laid it out with a plan and in writing. Everything we wanted to experience, she made sure we achieved what we expected. The hotels, Inns and Bed and Breakfast were amazing.
I highly recommend her for your next trip. We will be going to Italy and she is already planning it out. Can't wait!

There's a reason I am a multi-repeat customer with Ann - she is start to finish incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, patient, and attentive.

Success

Ann did a fabulous job finding us "needle in a haystack" tickets to go home and see family over Christmas. It was extremely expensive trying to book it myself and Ann was able to get the cost down considerably. She kept us up to date on the process along the way and made sure the tickets were what we wanted. It was very easy working with her and I highly recommend her to help with your travel needs!

25th Wedding Anniversary Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Matthew - Apex, NC | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Although my wife and I have travelled all over the world, I had never used a travel agent before. However, for our 25th wedding anniversary trip, I wanted some help and expertise in making it the best trip possible. I wanted to go to French Polynesia and looked for an expert for that destination. Divine intervention led me to Ann and the rest is history. Ann helped plan the trip of a lifetime for us in Bora Bora. I told her what I was looking for, and she gave expert advice on where to stay and what to do. I loved that she stayed in contact with us all the way through the trip, not only with planning, but through departure and return. In fact, we weren't going to make the plane to Tahiti due to a travel delay, but Ann found a way to contact the pilot of the plane to ask if he would hold if for as long as possible for us to get on...and we made it! This is the level of care Ann provides her clients. You will not find a better agent to work with than Ann. 5 stars all the wa

A Trip Postponed
Reviewed By Inge - Carmel, IN | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
We originally planned a trip to Arizona during March of 2020. Ann proposed an amazing itinerary and arranged all the bookings. Due to the Covid pandemic, we had to postpone our trip. Ann managed to get full refunds of all our planned activities in a timely manner. Ann rebooked everything for March 2021 and we couldn't have been more pleased. Arizona was wonderful, and Ann's proposed itinerary proved to be the perfect balance between sightseeing and relaxing!

Delighted - repeat clients!
Reviewed By Deb - New York, NY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Ann is a phenomenal resource, and absolutely our go-to for trip planning (this is the third trip she has helped us plan!!). She knows her stuff - and does a great job keeping me on track, which is no small task. I love to travel, but get stuck in the details if I try to go it alone. Ann takes the stress out, and keeps it fun - she clearly enjoys what she does, and is genuinely excited about the trip we'll take, and cares a lot about us getting the trip we want. She is extremely detail-oriented, and makes sure I have everything I need, well before the start of my trip. It really helps me relax and truly enjoy the vacation with my family.
