Ann-Rebecca Laschever

A former journalist and travel writer, Ann-Rebecca joined WEILL in 1996. She has more than 30 years’ experience in the publishing and travel public relations industries. As a journalist, she has written and edited articles for top consumer publications including Glamour, Audubon, newsweek.com, Ladies Home Journal, Gourmet, Conde Nast Traveler, Successful Meetings, PC Magazine, SmartMoney and Birnbaum Travel Guides.

Mark Liebermann

Before joining WEILL in 2007, Mark Liebermann worked for nearly ten years as an editor and writer, contributing to such publications as InStyle, SHAPE, Natural Health and Empire magazines. For three of those years, Mark served as the travel editor of GENRE magazine, for which he covered Germany, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland, Tasmania and more.

And when the opportunity arose to join "the fabulous team at WEILL" (his words) with whom he had previously traveled throughout Morocco and South Africa, Mark happily decided to “cross the aisle” over to travel public relations. Since joining WEILL, Mark has traveled to Canada, Israel, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, Bhutan, Mexico, Peru and beyond..

Born in Canberra, Australia, to American parents, Mark grew up traveling throughout Europe, Asia and around the United States. From his first bite of pain au chocolat in Paris at seven years old to a wide-eyed four am tour of the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, Mark discovered a twin love of travel and food early on in life—and it has never waned.

A resident for nearly 20 years of Brooklyn (home, incidentally, to some of New York’s best food), Mark has a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Comparative Literature from New York University.

Beth Levin

Beth has a passion for promoting travel. With over four years of experience working at the French Tourism Office in New York, Beth has visited parts of Eastern Europe, Italy, Spain, England, Israel and Greece.

Born and raised outside Philadelphia, Beth danced ballet from a young age and developed a discerning taste for film. She didn't travel outside of the U.S. until high school, but that first trip to London and Paris changed everything.

When travel is not on the agenda, Beth loves to walk around her Brooklyn neighborhood, check out new cocktail bars, or see an indie film (probably in French).

Beth has a Bachelor's degree in Cinema Studies and French from New York University.

Rebecca Singelenberg

Born in Washington DC to a Dutch father and an American mother who worked in the travel industry, Rebecca had a deep sense of wanderlust from a young age. Once she could travel on her own, her first real stint was traveling throughout Israel for a year. She graduated from Cornell University‘s School of Hotel Administration with a Bachelor of Science degree. She spent a semester abroad painting in Aix-en-Provence.

Following graduation, Rebecca completed a Management Training Program with the Sofitel Luxury Hotels group and was stationed in Morocco. She later worked for the largest tour operator in Morocco as an International Sales Manager, traveling throughout Europe and North America to implement an international sales strategy. Her experience in the world of hospitality led her into travel-related public relations. Currently based in Brooklyn, Rebecca enjoys cooking and trying new wines.

Julian Schnee

Julian was born in London and since his first voyage to Nice at just four weeks old, he’s had an insatiable passion for travel. Having grown up outside of New York City with frequent stints back to the United Kingdom and his mother’s native Argentina, Julian considers all three places home. He is fully bilingual in English and Spanish.

He graduated from Emerson College in Boston with a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications. From Brazil to Bariloche, with Spain and Seoul in between, Julian has mastered globetrotting. After graduation, Julian spent two years traveling, working as a freelance marketing consultant across the globe, including London, Bonaire and Buenos Aires. In 2015, he returned to New York City where, through the art of public relations, he assisted a range of luxury hospitality brands to tell their stories. His roster included clients ranging from boutique properties in Sardinia, to a large scale luxury resort in Las Vegas. An avid traveler, over recent years Julian has visited destinations including Japan, Israel, Italy, France, Greece, and Uruguay, to name a few.

Currently, Julian resides in Brooklyn, New York, where he enjoys scoping out the city’s eclectic culinary scene. During the weekends and summer, you can find him on the North Fork of Long Island, where his father owns an oyster farm, tasting wines at local vineyards.
