Anne Taylor Hartzell is an entrepreneur, content marketing and communications strategist with more than 22 years of experience working with consumer technology, lifestyle and travel brands, and venture-backed startups.

Anne started Hip Travel Mama as a blog 12 years ago out of a passion for exploring the world with her family and helping other families maximize the precious time we have with our kids growing up and has been an advocate for travel brands and sharing travel tips on local and national TV segments and social media for over a decade.

In 2020, she launched the first season of the  culture SHIFT podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify where she talks with experts and parents and deep dives into the values and beliefs that shape our family life to create more meaning and purpose.

Anne and her husband have traveled the world with their now teen daughters, have a fluffy chocolate labradoodle named Roxy and live in a suburb outside of Seattle, Washington.
