Bespoke, Luxury, and Personalized Travel Designer

South Africa

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!

A Mediterranean Adventure for the ages!

Reviewed By Sugarbleo - Wauwatosa, WI | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe

My wife recommended we contact Anneke to plan our 10 year Anniversary trip. Normally, I like to plan our vacations, but we wanted to travel to three different European countries (Greece, Italy & Spain) and twice as many cities so it was a bit overwhelming. Right from the start we knew we were in good hands. Anneke asked us various questions about what we wanted out of the experience and put together (after multiple drafts) the vacation of a lifetime! She balanced excursions with free days and ample time to prepare for flights, check-ins, ferry rides and sleep! The aspect of her support that I cannot praise enough is her accessibility and response time during our trip at all hours of the day. We also loved how detailed she was in providing the travel information including transportation, accommodations, things to do, restaurants, cafes and nightlife all within the app! She was honestly great, and we will not hesitate you utilize her services at AM/FM Leisure & Travel Adventure again!

Anneke is AMAZING! Incredibly organized, detailed-oriented, dedicated, and hard-working to ensure the BEST travel experience. When planning big trips, it is so important to have a seasoned travel agent looking out for you to ensure the best experience. At times, however, life can throw curveballs and things may not go quite as planned; ie missed flights; cancelled excursions; a pandemic; etc. Having an incredible travel agent in your corner to immediately troubleshoot the snafu's is priceless! We will ALWAYS choose Anneke for all of our travel needs!

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!
