My name is Alanna, and I love all things food and travel. After years of planning trips for friends and family, and with much encouragement from them, I decided to form ASM Essentials to share my passion for travel with fellow globetrotters.

I was first bitten by the travel bug on my first trip to Heidelberg, Germany. I was able to take in some of the most amazing sights of the Heidelberg Castle from an apartment situated on the river. Tasting the local food and taking in the culture during my time there helped me realize that traveling is the only way to truly see and appreciate what destinations around the globe have to offer.

Since then, I have had amazing experiences in many countries. To date, some of my favorites are the cuisine in the bodegas in Barcelona, Spain; the night view of the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy; the wineries and vineyards in Cape Town, South Africa; and the appreciation for the culture in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

It would be my pleasure to create amazing experiences that you will remember for years to come.
