TESTIMONIALS
LATVIA TOURISM DEPARTMENT: Roadtrip in Latvia 2017 & 2016
We were very pleased with the results of our collaboration with Ann-Mari as part of the #LatviaRoadTrip campaign with NordicTB. She is a true professional with a flair for travel writing. It’s great to follow Ann-Mari’s adventures live via social media since she picks up on unique and interesting, almost unexpected features of each destination. Our expectations we fulfilled and we hope to work together again in future. Lelde Benke, Media and Marketing Project Manager, Tourism Department, Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA)
GERMANY TRAVEL: CitybreakGermany og Wurstadventure
Jeg setter stor pris på det gode samarbeidet med Ann-Mari. Hun har deltatt i to Tysklands-kampanjer og jeg var veldig fornøyd med resultatene. Det var troverdige innlegg som nådde frem til leserne hennes. Jeg takker for samarbeidet og håper at vi kan gjenta det.

POLEN TRAVEL: Pomorskie Region
EMIRATES AIRLINE: Dubai
On the 2nd of september 2014, Emirates Airline launched their first daily direct route between Oslo and Dubai. To mark this occasion the company invited six travel bloggers to join them to Dubai the following February. Among those invited were Alltid Reiseklar and Ann-Mari. Our goal was to show Norwegians that the Emirates and Dubai are a good alternative for those seeking sun and warmth during the winter, and that the city of Dubai has something to offer everybody. It was a pleasure having Ann-Mari join us to Dubai. In addition to being a talented photographer she was active on social media during the whole trip. Emirates Airline were most pleased with articles she published afterwards, depicting Dubai as a city that suites everybody. We would be delighted to have Ann-Mari join us again.
