About
Hi, I’m Leslie, a passionate traveler with a deep love for exploring diverse cultures and landscapes. From the vibrant streets of Spain, to the enchanting beauty of Southeast Asia and the rich tapestry of destinations in Africa, I find joy in immersing myself in unique experiences. My travel style seamlessly blends cultural discovery, thrilling adventures, and moments of leisure, creating the perfect trifecta for an unforgettable journey. Food is always a pivotal element in my travel planning. Let me curate a memorable trip for you that will be tailor-made to your interests, preferences, and budget.

Travel style
My ideal travel itinerary includes a combination of cities, mountains, and beaches. Tours are great for learning about history and customs, but what I find most meaningful are the moments I take to chat with locals, taste the native food, immerse myself in the culture, and appreciate the beauty in my surroundings. I prefer luxury travel, but I utilize a savvy approach in my planning, knowing when to indulge and when to save.

We have always planned trips on our own without a travel agent. However, when we began planning our trip to Thailand and Bali, we felt a bit overwhelmed with all of the options and decisions. We decided to reach out to Leslie and are so grateful that we did. Leslie is incredible to work with! She took the time to listen to what we were looking for and made excellent suggestions for our itinerary, hotels, and excursions. She considered our budget and booked us phenomenal hotels which all included extra perks through Fora. Leslie was exceptionally patient as we considered several different hotel options and supported us in the decision-making process. She also provided insight into each destination and helped us think about aspects of traveling that we would not have considered. Leslie is personable, enthusiastic, and on top of every detail. We will definitely be using her for all of our travel in the future!

Leslie is amazing. She found the perfect place for us to stay. I had originally considered a different one in another location on the island, but am so happy that she advised me on this hotel. It really is the best option on the island and ideal for anything you want to see while there.

Leslie found this hotel for us; we wouldn’t have sourced it on our own. I’m so appreciative, because we are looking forward already to our next visit.
