Hey there,
I’m Anne, and I get it.
This thing called life is a neverending roller coaster, and not always the fun kind found at amusement parks.
We ALL deserve to ditch the bumpy ride and opt for the smooth one, even if on occasion.
But not everyone can afford to jet off on an airplane.
Most of us are busy and on a limited budget, and so I aspire to inspire the vacation mentality for anyone, anywhere, at any time.
You see, growing up my family NEVER went on vacations. And I mean, never. The closest thing to a vacation was my mom renting a hotel room for one night next to The Six Flags, which happened to only be an hour away from our home.
One-nighters with a box of pizza and an evening splashing in the hotel pool… that was the extent of our “escape”.
But it’s not just about escaping the routine.
It’s about embracing the moment.
AKA: Anne William, Author
Yep, that’s right – a published author. (Also, if you care to know, Anne William is a pseudonym/penname). You can find my current published work on Amazon/Audible.
What do I like to read? Fiction, of course. In fact, escaping into a good book is one of the easiest ways to embark on a grand adventure. It’s free (libraries for the win) and can be enjoyed every day.
Because of my bias for books, I have ensured each vacation/staycation theme has at least one book recommendation that is themed appropriately. But don’t worry, I know some people don’t love reading, so I have included movies as well!
Bonus- I plan to launch book-themed “Pop-up Retreats” soon.
