My Story
I’m a curious soul who’s always planning my next travel adventure.
Travel Style
I like to connect to people and culture for unforgettable moments. My favorite properties offer luxurious finishes mingled with colorful pasts. Think former palaces reinvented as luxe hotels or family palazzos transformed into plush apartments. My close relationships with guides in Italy, Spain, Morocco and beyond ensure clients discover the hidden gems in their chosen destinations.

Lee was fantastic! After hearing a bit about what our needs were, she recommended two great hotels -- in Barcelona and Malaga -- that were charming with an upscale vibe, in great locations and with amazing breakfasts. I turned to Lee again when needing to book another trip for myself and my sons because her recommendations and warm demeanor so impressed me the first time we booked with her. If you're looking for a thoughful, discerning and experienced travel advisor, Lee is your person!

Where to Stay, Eat and Go in Florence
It’s difficult to articulate the allure of Florence. Like other European cities, Florence is home to world-class museums, restaurants and hotels, yet there’s something intangible that beckons me to return. Firenze is steeped in history, and as the birthplace of the Renaissance, art and elegance are part of the city’s soul and evident at every turn. Step onto the cobblestone streets of Florence and soak in its beauty!
