Meet the Team Behind AM|FM

At AM|FM Luxury + Adventure Travel, we believe the best journeys are shaped by people who genuinely love the world and the stories found within it.

What began as a solo vision in 2015 has grown into a boutique travel company built on connection, creativity, curiosity, and care. Each member of our team brings a unique perspective, travel style, and area of expertise, allowing us to thoughtfully match travelers with experiences that feel personal, seamless, and deeply meaningful.

We don’t believe travel should feel transactional.

We believe it should feel like something you carry with you long after you return home.

  • Anneke Marchese

    Founder + Chief Travel Designer

    Anneke believes the best travel experiences are rooted in connection, culture, and the moments that stay with you long after a trip ends.

    Known for blending luxury with authenticity, she designs immersive journeys shaped by emotion, storytelling, and a strong sense of place. Her favorite itineraries balance beautiful hotels with meaningful local experiences, incredible food, vibrant energy, and time to simply breathe it all in.

    Her heart belongs to places like South Africa, Hawai‘i, Amsterdam, and the Mediterranean, but her curiosity continually pulls her toward new corners of the world.

    As both a business owner and mother of two, Anneke brings warmth, intuition, and practical guidance to every journey she creates, helping travelers feel cared for from beginning to end.
