To Travel is to Write a Story. Here is Mine.
Hi, I'm annie Schlesinger
All roads in my life have led to La Fina Travel. My path has never been linear; it’s been a collection of experiences that together shaped how I see the world and how I serve my clients today. I’ve worked behind the scenes at Fashion Week in Barcelona, coordinated events in San Francisco, and spent a decade teaching in Los Angeles before running my own boutique marketing agency. Each chapter taught me something about creativity, organization, and the beauty of human connection, all of which are at the heart of how I design travel.
Along the way I’ve lived in Spain, Australia, and across the United States, traveling to more than 38 countries (so far) with my son often by my side. I’ve always felt most alive when immersed in a new place, listening to the language, watching life unfold in a small plaza, or noticing the patterns carved into an old building that quietly tell its history. Those are the moments that make the world feel like home. They remind me how connected we all are, and they’re the kind I strive to create for others.
La Fina Travel is the culmination of that lifelong curiosity, an intersection of organization and creativity, structure and spontaneity. Each itinerary is crafted with that same spirit of discovery, designed to help travelers see the world not just as visitors, but as participants in the stories unfolding all around them.

Snapshots From My Story
Some memories live softly in the background, reminding us why we seek new places and stories. These are the moments that stay—the laughter, the light, the sense of belonging that only travel can bring. They continue to guide how I design journeys, grounded in the same wonder that first inspired me to explore.
