Hi, I'm Anika
I’m the founder and travel advisor behind White Linen Vacations—and the person personally involved in every itinerary, recommendation and carefully checked detail.
Travel advisor since 2022.
meet your travel advisor
I'm personally involved in every trip I plan.
I created White Linen Vacations for travelers who want a wonderful, thoughtfully planned trip without taking on all the research, logistics and endless decisions themselves.
As the sole advisor behind WLV, I work directly with every client. I take the time to understand who is traveling, what matters to them and what they want the experience to feel like—then turn those priorities into a trip that feels personal, manageable and genuinely theirs.
So, why White Linen Vacations?
The name was inspired by the classic white linen shirt—not a formal tablecloth and definitely not a wedding venue. A white linen shirt can feel polished enough for the country club and relaxed enough for the carpool line. It is comfortable, versatile and somehow looks effortlessly put together.
That is how I believe travel should feel: elevated without being stuffy, thoughtfully arranged without feeling overdone, and completely at home wherever the journey takes you.
Behind the name
A Few Things About Me
I’m Anika—the founder and sole travel advisor behind White Linen Vacations. I love coffee, sunrises > sunsets, reading, genealogy, trying new foods and spending time with my family—whether we’re playing video games or making waves in the pool.
I’m organized when it matters, but I don’t take myself too seriously—life is meant to be lived, laughed through and fully enjoyed. When I travel, I plan one or two must-do experiences for each person, then leave room for the unexpected moments in between. I believe trips keep us moving, but vacations let us breathe—and the best journeys make room for both.
That same balance shapes how I care for my clients: I’m there before, during and after every trip, including 24/7 support while they’re traveling, so they always have someone in their corner.
