Raised in upstate NY amidst the Adirondack Mountains, Annie grew to love hiking and exploring the outdoors. Growing up she found herself on travel adventures across the US, to Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Whether she had an opportunity to dog sled, try crocodile meat, go surfing or skydiving, you could bet that she was doing it all.

While Annie was earning her Psychology degree at a small liberal arts institution in western New York, she discovered her passion for Tour Guiding. She led campus tours for three years and loved every moment of it.

It wasn’t until her early 20’s though that she sparked an interest in backpacking. This spark carried her cross-country to hike over 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. She lived campsite to campsite across 1,700 miles in California and the state began to feel like home. So much so that she decided after completing the trail to make the move to San Francisco!

Blending her passion for guiding with her love for the outdoors and adventure is what makes her so excited to take you on an unforgettable trip!
