About
Former corporate executive following my passion - travel! I’ve traveled to 30 countries and 5 continents, many of which solo. I’m an avid photographer, foodie, adventurer and wildlife/nature lover. You’ll find me dreaming up my next itinerary and planning dream trips for others. Travel feeds my soul and I love bringing that feeling to others.
Travel style
I love to experience new places and immerse myself in the local culture. The perfect trip for me is a combination of local activities/sightseeing and then retiring to my luxury accommodations to rest-up for tomorrow's activities! While I love a five-star hotel, I’ve stayed in many types of accommodations and love to mix it up. I enjoy adventure, food & wine, relaxation and “wow moments” (sunset in the Sahara, Leopard safari in India). As an avid conservationist, I strive to plan trips that contribute directly to the local economy.

Lee's reviews
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lee from the Fora team, and I must say, it was truly a remarkable experience. Planning a vacation for a group of multiple families with different bookings can be quite a challenge, but Lee made it all seem like a breeze. One of the things that stood out to me was Lee's meticulous attention to detail. When it came to coordinating airport transfers, she noticed that nobody had actually purchased a flight for grandpa. And when he discovered that his passport was expired, Lee jumped into action, helping me modify the reservation and even cancel it so I could get a refund. Even when the room type I had booked was not available at check-in, Lee didn't hesitate to advocate for me and ensure that everything was sorted out promptly. Thanks to Lee, I was able to relax and look forward to our vacation without having to worry about all the nitty-gritty details. I am already excited about our next vacation planned by Lee and can't wait to see what she has in store for us next! If you're looking for a stress-free and enjoyable vacation planning experience, I highly recommend reaching out to Lee and the team. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Lee was wonderful. She was very interested in the kind of trip I wanted to take and put together two great properties, one in Nevis and the other in St Kitts. I really appreciated Lee taking care of all the details and I’m already planning a trip with her for next year in Italy.
