Anyone who knows me knows that my three passions are fitness, my dog Ozzie and planning unforgettable travel experiences!
Travel style
My ideal trips blend stunning settings, cultural immersion, incredible food, adventure and moments of pure relaxation. I specialize in crafting personalized itineraries tailored to your unique interests. Whether it’s a girls' getaway to San Miguel de Allende for Día de los Muertos, a quick Iceland stopover en route to the French Riviera, a 4-day NYC escape with US Open tickets or a 12-day island-hopping trip along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast — every detail is handled. From research to logistics, I take care of it all, so you can focus on what matters most: making unforgettable memories. Let’s create an experience that’s perfectly tailored to you and your crew!

Leslie's reviews
I just returned from a 15-day Iceland circumnavigation by car, and I couldn't have done it without Leslie Ford's help. She handled everything—choosing destinations, booking 12 hotels, managing drive times, and highlighting must-see spots for photos and puffin sightings. It was great to work with Leslie on this trip. She is smart, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and she has excellent judgement! Her expertise made an exciting and interesting trip an unforgettable adventure! I could tell that Leslie really enjoys her work. I definitely plan to ask Leslie to advise and plan for my future trips!
