Hi, I'm Annie - I am the Founder, Writer, and Curator for TravelShus.com.
Though Brooklyn, NY is my home base, I am always on the road traveling to new places in search of the best market, the toastiest toast, the softest scarf, and the most unique new experiences.
My writing can also be found in American Way Magazine, Sherman's Travel, Traveler's Joy, AsiaRooms.com, and more.
I hope you enjoy this site!
