Mini bio
How it started.
Annette began Bucket List Journey to gather the goals she had scattered across scraps of paper and computer files. In a 2021 interview, she explained that she wanted somewhere to record her growing list and share both successes and failures.
Learning to say yes.
She has written openly about how anxiety restricted her life. She promised herself to stop letting fear make her decisions and to take a step toward her goals each day. That approach became the heart of her travel work.
From blog to book.
Her work reached print with Bucket List Adventures in January 2017. The book combines personal journeys with practical planning help. Her own media kit also notes recognition from Frommer’s for her travel Instagram.
A new chapter.
For 16 years she helped run Sugo Trattoria with her husband, Peter. She says selling the restaurant gave her more freedom to focus on her bucket list, which became her full-time career in 2024. Today her guides span overseas trips and smaller adventures close to home.
