Anne Fuldby-Olsen, Founder:

I was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1993, I moved to Athens, Greece, where I married Tony. Living in a city with over five thousand years of history is not only fascinating but also very inspirational. I have spent more than 33 years in the travel industry, been blessed with traveling all my life, and visited more than 30 countries and, after moving to Greece, I built a Destination Management Company. Since March 2012, I have been a part of Executive Travel, and since January 2015, I have directed the Group Department, utilizing my extensive travel experiences. I am blessed with a worldwide network of collaborators, allowing me to create unique signature journeys.

The idea of Women of the Midwest arose when I realized that close to 70% of the travelers joining our escorted tours were women. Along with my solid local network over the past 11 years (I spend half of my time in Lincoln, NE) and a handful of enthusiastic Nebraska friends-of-heart, Women of the Midwest was born in 2018, and the dream of offering journeys solely to women became a wonderful reality.

Jennifer King, Director:

Hello, welcome!

Living in Omaha, Nebraska, for the majority of my life, yet my passion for travel finds me away on adventures much of the time.  I was a habitual solo traveler, conquering 47 of our states along with Mexico, Central America, and most of Europe, yet I knew I did not want to experience Iceland solo. Thankfully, I found  Women of the Midwest. That trip to Iceland was so fabulous that it converted this solo traveler into a group traveler who has now visited not only Iceland but also Ireland, Jordan, and Egypt. I invite you to come and experience the magic of group travel on one of our epic journeys. Cheers!

Liset Garcia-Bates, Advisor & Ticketing Agent:

I grew up in Los Angeles, moved to Ohio in my mid-twenties, and I now live in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati with my husband. I enjoy the outdoors, and my hobbies include running, biking, going on hikes, and kayaking. I have two sons; my oldest is 30 years old, and my youngest is 25. I’ve been in the travel industry since my senior year in high school, and have been with Executive Travel for four years now. To say I love to travel is an understatement! I enjoy meeting people and learning about their cultures; we are all unique. I’ve been fortunate to have visited a few beautiful places in my life like Tahiti, Hawaii, Italy, France, and Spain, but that’s only the beginning. Come, join us – let’s explore the world together!

Angella Christianson, Operations Administrator:

I was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up moving across five different states—an experience that sparked my love of travel at an early age. I met and married my husband in Colorado, and his career later brought us to Nebraska, where we raised our two now-adult children.

I enjoy watching movies, attending sporting events—especially baseball—and playing games. From 2006 to 2020, my family and I completed a true bucket-list adventure by visiting every Major League Baseball stadium in the United States and Canada. And, if that wasn’t enough, we’ve now set our sights on visiting every U.S. National Park—wish us luck, it’s a big list!

Most recently, I’ve traveled to Bora Bora, Tahiti, Prague, and Spain, and I can’t wait to see where our next adventure takes us. I truly look forward to helping our travelers plan and experience their own dream journeys around the world.
