Anne embraces Mark Twain’s observation that “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” Anne went on trade missions to Israel and Jordan; Shanghai, China; and London and served as a trainer for the International Republican Institute in Cambodia, Morocco and Dubai, U.A.E where she assisted women in preparing to run for and hold political office. Her first trip to Morocco became a love story between Anne and an amazing country, culture and people. She loves being a travel ambassador and connection for all things Moroccan and has turned her passion for travel and international relations into a side enterprise.
