From History and Archaeology to APIs: Anna’s Dynamic Journey into Travel Tech
Anna’s passion for hospitality began early. At just 18, she found herself working in cafés and bars while studying History and Archaeology, an experience that not only introduced her to the working world but also ignited her curiosity about people, cultures, and creating meaningful moments.
Her academic path took her to Surrey, UK, where she pursued a Master’s degree in Tourism and Management. There, Anna built a solid foundation for her career in the travel industry. She began professionally with Leonardo Hotels, where she got her first deep dive into hospitality operations.
Eventually, Anna moved to Barcelona, where she now lives, and joined the OTA giant eDreams. The role provided her with valuable insights into the digital side of travel and opened the door to a more tech-oriented approach.
Her journey to Su has been nothing short of enriching. “I’ve learned so much about the industry along the way,” she says. “And every day continues to be a learning experience.”
Why Anna Loves Su and Her Role
For Anna, Su is a place of constant learning and growth. Being involved with multiple departments daily has expanded her professional skillset and boosted her confidence. “I gain so much knowledge every single day,” she shares.
What truly drives her, though, is the connection with clients. Understanding their needs, helping solve their problems, and seeing the impact of her support brings a deep sense of purpose. “It’s rewarding to feel like I’m making a real difference in their experience,” Anna adds.
Anna’s Success Mantra
Anna keeps it simple and effective: If I work hard and communicate with my colleagues, I will reach high.
Beyond Su: Anna’s Passions and Personal Pursuits
When she’s not supporting clients or diving into cross-departmental collaboration, Anna enjoys winding down with friends at pub quizzes. It’s her fun, social way of staying sharp outside of work.
She also keeps active with running and swimming—habits that help her clear her mind and recharge. “These activities help me reset after a busy day and keep me ready to tackle whatever comes next,” she says.
