My Story
Native Angeleno — obsessed with planning next year's bucket list trip, discovering the next "best thing I've ever eaten" and trying a new recipe from Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden.
My Travel Style
Traveling is an escape from your everyday life. Whether it's lounging all day on the beach in Quepos, meandering through the streets of Montmartre in Paris or climbing to the top of Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, vacations rejuvenate the soul. My role is to help facilitate that (with some restaurant recommendations thrown in, if you'd like) through a points/money combination, a bucket list splurge and everything in between.

Leslie was nothing short of amazing. We have never traveled out of the country before and didn’t have any clue how to plan our honeymoon. Leslie took over and planned us the most incredible trip. The trip of a lifetime! Every single detail was planned, from the cars waiting for us when we would get off a train to reservations at the hottest spots! Every hotel that she booked for us was a 10/10. It couldn’t have been a smoother trip—everything was so perfect. We were never once stressed on our honeymoon and that was all thanks to Leslie. I couldn’t recommend her MORE! We were so happy with using her as our travel agent and will never book another trip without using her services!

I would highly recommend Leslie and will definitely be using her services again. She gave excellent recommendations that made our first time visiting Mexico City a complete success. She gave various options for our hotels that fit within our budget and ultimately helped us book the perfect location. She also helped us form a flexible itinerary that included her personal recommendations for places to visit and eat. All of which were great choices! When it came to booking, she made the process easy, seamless and fast. We were lucky to have her advice and guidance for our trip and would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Leslie was amazing! She worked to find us a hotel in a central location while also being reasonably priced! A huge part was a baby-friendly room, and she worked so hard to find a comfortable room for us with our baby. She also was in communication with the hotel to ensure a crib was available and set up a beautiful welcome arrangement which made us feel so special when we arrived! Every question was answered so quickly and her knowledge of hotels is unmatched! Booking through Leslie also got us perks: breakfast, upgrade and hotel credit!

Leslie is awesome to work with. She’s very knowledgeable, giving us many options we can choose from when we’re looking for hotels in LA. She also added her personal notes to each option, making it easy for us to select Fairmont hotel. Booking process was easy with Leslie. She took care of everything and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you Leslie!

I have been traveling internationally for more that fifteen years and this was my first experience using a travel agent. I now know that I will likely never be able to travel without hiring Leslie. Communication before the trip was extremely responsive. Her google lists for every city we visited easily became our master list as her recommendations lead me (an extremely picky eater) to a restaurant I will now dream about revisiting. Multiple times during our stay in Japan, my husband and I looked at each other with the silent understanding of, "Thank God For Leslie!". Leslie is not only great at curating experiences, but she also held my hand (virtually) during a few stressful moments in our trip that were out of all of control. I will now look to Leslie for each of my upcoming trips. I actually think I am open to even more travel now that I have experienced booking with Leslie.
