Anna, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move

Anna landed in Chicago after a string of moves that included San Diego (goodbye sunshine and beach days), London, Santiago, and a ship at sea. She lives in the Loop for strategic reasons, not just the vibes. She quickly discovered that Midwest nice is a real thing and is adapting. She's even given up being a vegetarian... the constant temptation of Chicago dogs was just too strong. And pepperoni on the tavern style pizza (no, not the deep-dish kind) is a game changer. At Snappy Scout, Anna brings local insight, travel perspective, and a very real understanding of why Illinois surprises people who think they already know it.
