A nn is the Founder and CEO of NabeWise Media. Ann’s background in content, along with her having moved over 30 times in her life, gave her the initial idea for NabeWise. In the last ten years she has lived in Boston, DC, Miami, LA, and she now lives in Hoboken, NJ and works in New York City.  Ann loves New York City neighborhoods including, the West Village, Flatiron, Nolita and Williamsburg.


Diana is the Director of Business Development at NabeWise. She was born in Odessa (Ukraine, not Texas!) and raised in New York City. So far, she has explored neighborhoods throughout 4 continents, 21 countries, and 66 cities. Ask her about her favorite neighborhood and she’ll ramble on about the West Village in New York, though Brooklyn Heights, SoHo, and Roosevelt Island are not too far behind.


NabeWise is always looking for more guest bloggers interested in writing about neighborhoods, travel, moving, or city trends. If interested, send us an email to ann at nabewise.com.
