Leslie loves to travel and has been blessed with unique travel opportunities throughout her life. She’s an explorer with a deep curiosity about the world and its cultures. She has enjoyed not only traditional travel itineraries, but also had some very unique experiences: an archaeological dig in Sicily, hiking the glaciers in Argentina, exploring all over Spain particularly enjoying the gastronomical wonders of the Basque country, numerous trips to Africa, exploring India, hiking Bhutan…and the list goes on!
Leslie loves itineraries that are full of a variety of experiences with her favorite trips including not only outdoor adventures, but also cultural explorations…who doesn’t like to hike all day and then enjoy a Michelin star restaurant at night?!?!
To date, she has visited some of the most beautiful places in the world: most of Europe, various countries in Africa, India, Bhutan, Peru, Croatia, Montenegro, Patagonia, Honduras, Belize, Mexico, and all over the US. Leslie also loves to fly fish and has been able to enjoy some “tight lines” all over the world…she even has a son who is now a highly sought after fly fishing outfitter and guide in Montana!
Leslie has never been to an area of the world she hasn’t fallen in love with and joining Departure Lounge gave her the chance to share with others her lifelong enthusiasm for travel. And, in 2019, Leslie was honored as a Travel+Leisure Rising Star in recognition of her enthusiasm for and excellence in the travel industry. Of course, she couldn’t have earned this award without her amazing clients with whom she loves to work!
Our family took a trip to Argentina that is still one of my favorite adventures. After a week of fly fishing the amazing gin-clear waters of Patagonia, we flew down to the southern trip of Argentina and hiked the glaciers. We finished the trip with a fabulous stay in Buenos Aires exploring the culture and history of the city by day, and then doing up the town at night! Nothing like wearing fishing waders, ice climbing crampons and stilettos on the same trip!!!
