What Travelers Say About Wunderbird
“When Annie planned my trips to Athens, Rome, Barcelona, and London she didn't disappoint in finding great food, attractions, and lodging. I highly recommend her services!”
Grayson E.
“My fiancé and I asked Wunderbird to create a Scotland travel guide for guests to our destination wedding in Glasgow. This is a great touch because a lot of guests plan to travel around Scotland before or after the wedding. I'm so happy with what Wunderbird provided us!”
David L.
“I’ve traveled extensively with Annie, all over Central Europe, Norway, Mexico, and Costa Rica. She’s curious, outgoing, and always hungry — three things that make her an ideal travel companion!”
Emma G.
“My siblings and I had this brilliant idea to plan a sibling trip to Europe, but we are very much the ‘I don't care' and ‘I don't know' types when it comes to deciding ANYTHING. This is where Annie came in and saved the trip. She planned every single day for us, and planned the trip with everyone's interests in mind. It was a trip tailored to the people going on the trip, and we experienced so much of every city! This wouldn't have been possibility without Annie's help.”

Meet the Wunderbird Team
Annie
Wunderbird Travel was founded by travel industry veteran Annie Erling Gofus. When not trotting the globe, you’ll find Annie at home in Washington, DC with Wunderbird’s CFO (Chief Furball Officer) Rocky and her husband Ryan.
Jules
Jules is Wunderbird’s spokespuffin. Puffins are seriously super seabirds. They fly up to 55 miles per hour, can dive almost 200 feet underwater, and spend most of their lives floating out at sea. We imagine Jules tackling the puffins’ final frontier — outerspace. Which is why she’s wearing an astronaut’s helmet!
