It is 2024 and I am so excited to announce that VS1 Travels is growing! We have added 2 new travel advisors to our team. And guess what we all have in common?! We all got married last year in 2023! So please welcome our new additions and reach out to us if you have any travel needs.
Anya Charles
With over a decade of honing my skills, I’ve mastered the art of turning aspirations into experiences. My journey through various industries—customer service, photography, health and wellness, travel coordination, and the world of writing and editing—has been an incredible ride, shaping me into the dedicated and passionate professional I am today.
As a pandemic-turned remote worker, I began working as an Editor-in-Chief for a magazine. I am now proud to add another exciting endeavor as I step in the role of travel advisor at VS1 Travels!
My mindset revolves around transforming ideas and words into compelling stories and memorable moments. As a travel advisor, I specialize in making those hopes and desires to travel into tangible, personal adventures, crafting avenues that lead my clients towards unique and meaningful experiences that last a lifetime.
On a personal note, travel isn’t just my profession; it’s my perpetual passion. Growing up in a mixed family, I began traveling as an infant to visit grandparents, cousins, aunties and uncles all around the world. The travel bug found me at a young age…and never left. When I’m not guiding travelers or penning stories, you’ll find me buried in fiction novels, playing board games with friends and family, or enjoying some time in nature.
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”
