Anne-Marie Esslinger

Atlanta
8 Years of experience

Anne-Marie believes that creating memories together through travel is the best gift that you can give someone. Travel expands your mind and opens your heart.

Anne-Marie enjoyed a career as a recruiter in Atlanta and Chicago for almost 10 years. After her second child was born, she and her husband moved them back to Atlanta to be closer to their extended families. She spent the next years managing the family, volunteering, and raising her daughter and son while her husband traveled extensively with his consulting career. Every chance they got, they took time away to travel both on family adventures exploring new places with their children, and on romantic getaways by themselves.

What is your most memorable travel experience?

Some of my  most memorable experiences include: getting lost in the hills of Tuscany and eating crusty bread and pecorino in a poppy field; swimming with turtles in Waterlemon Cay on St. John, USVI; hiking through the jungle of the Cockscomb Basin Jaguar Sanctuary in Belize;  wandering the art and antique markets of Clignancourt outside of Paris; and holding the capuchin monkeys in Akumal, Mexico.

What inspired you to become a travel agent?

I love research, planning, and organizing. I have used these skills to find the perfect new hire for corporations in my previous career and also in many volunteer roles planning and running non-profit functions. But what I loved the most over the years was planning and researching for our own travel. When the time was right, I decided to get back to the business world and use these talents to work with clients to craft unique, personal adventures for couples, groups of friends, and families.

Travel Tip

  • Travel with your children! Travel is the best interactive education you can give them. BUT don't forget to travel without your children too! Travel with your partner alone; it is important to carve out time for yourselves and travel is a wonderful way to reconnect.
