Anna Long

The
Long
Story

Hi, I’m Anna — a Texas-born storyteller with a passport full of stamps and a soft spot for spontaneous adventures. This page is a peek behind the curtain: where I’ve been, how I got here, and a few favorite memories along the way.

Scroll on, it's a long story

Most recently, I earned my master’s in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics. London gave me a sharper mind, a softer heart, and the conviction that storytelling is both an art and an act of connection.

After graduation, I moved to Prague to teach English and explore Central Europe. Between language lessons and train rides, I found my independence—and my obsession with old cities and fresh perspectives.

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

2022

Summers on Nantucket meant long days serving tourists, ferry rides at golden hour, and learning how to make anyone feel welcome. The island gave me grit, grace, and a deep appreciation for the rhythm of seasonal life.

Living and working in Jackson Hole introduced me to wide skies, steep slopes, and even steeper learning curves. I balanced hospitality work with ski days and campfire nights, soaking up the rugged beauty of the American West.

2023

I moved to the East Coast to study Communication and Film at Boston College, graduating cum laude. It was here that I first discovered how much I loved crafting a good story—on screen, on paper, and in conversation.

BOSTON COLLEGE

2017

Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, where the stars are big and the rodeo is even bigger. My dad runs the local rodeo arena, so I grew up with dust on my boots and stories in my blood.

Plot Points & Pit Stops

Texas, USA

Home base and heartland. I grew up in Fort Worth, where my dad runs the rodeo, the sunsets go on forever, and I learned early that storytelling and Southern hospitality are powerful things. Everything about me starts here.

Fort Worth

Central America & the Caribbean

Think mango juice, sea breeze, and dancing that starts at sunset. From Puerto Rico’s unmatched warmth (both literal and emotional) to cliff dives in Cozumel and slow mornings in Belize, this region is full of joy, rhythm, and color. I always leave a little happier than I arrived.

Mexico, Belize, DR, Honduras,
Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico

Canary Islands & the Iberian Peninsula

Fuerteventura is my ride-or-die island — Bella and I return whenever we need sunshine, snacks from Dino Market, and beachy freedom. From late-night Lisbon strolls to sleepy afternoons in Lagos, the Iberian Peninsula has always felt like vacation in its purest form: sandy, salty, and full of life.

Spain, Portugal

Indonesia

Sunrise hikes, motorbike rides, and the kind of jungle stillness that makes your brain slow down. I surfed in Lombok, stared down cliffs in Nusa Penida, and caught my breath again in Bali. If there’s magic left in the world, I think it’s probably here.

Bali, Nusa Penida, Lombok

Scandinavia

We booked the Harry Styles concert on a whim and were in Stockholm 24 hours later — not my most rested moment, but one of the best. Later, I took the train, boat, and bus across Norway, and the scenery physically stopped me in my tracks. Clean, wild, and full of feeling.

Sweden, Norway

Turkey

Possibly my favorite place on earth. Sun-drenched and soul-stirring, this stretch of the Turkish Riviera is where I ate the best meals, swam in the bluest water, and felt the most like myself. Dreamy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Kalkan, Kas, Turkish Riviera

United Kingdom & Ireland

Lived in London, studied at LSE, drank a pint in almost every neighborhood. But the real memory lives in a can of cocktail, a Subway sandwich, and a cliff picnic on the Isle of Skye with my best friends — one of the most perfect meals of my life.

England, Scotland, Ireland

Northern Africa

A $27 roundtrip flight turned into a whirlwind through Marrakesh’s medina, souks, and rooftop cafés. It was chaotic in the most wonderful way — filled with color, spice, and the constant sense that something unexpected was around the corner.

Morocco

Canada

There’s something grounding about British Columbia — like you’re always five minutes away from fog and stillness. Coffee tasted better, the air felt cleaner, and I took my time, for once.

Vancouver Island, Victoria

United States + National Parks

I've driven across the States more times than I can count, hiked through iconic national parks, and slept in ski towns, island cottages, and city apartments. My version of the U.S. is a patchwork of adventure, nostalgia, and diner breakfasts at dawn.

National Parks, Major Cities, Road Trips

Hawaii

Where I met my boyfriend — on a hostel-organized waterfall hike, of all places. Hawaii gave me sea turtles, lava landscapes, and the kind of sun that makes everything feel like a memory already. I left with tan lines and a new chapter.

Maui, The Big Island

Thailand

Thailand is a sensory overload in the best way. I stayed at an ethical elephant sanctuary, explored temples, and never quite figured out how to cross the street in Bangkok (but loved it anyway). Every day felt like a highlight reel.

Phuket, Bangkok, Chiang Mai

The Mediterranean

From re-living Mamma Mia on Skopelos to cliff diving in Cyprus to sipping wine in Tuscany, the Mediterranean taught me how to romanticize everything. My camera roll has never been so full of sunsets, ferry rides, and pasta.

Italy, Greece, Monaco, Cyprus

Western Europe

This is the version of Europe you dream about: Paris picnics, canal bike rides in Amsterdam, and champagne toasts in Monte Carlo. I also once slept on the floor of the Vienna airport to catch a €12 flight — balance.

France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Monaco

Eastern & Central Europe

I called Prague home for a year, and used every weekend to explore nearby cities like Budapest, Split, and Mostar. These travels weren’t fancy — they were chaotic, funny, unfiltered, and full of character. My budget was tight, but the memories are rich.

Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina
