About Leslie

A native New Yorker and former long-time resident of Burlington, Vermont; Leslie has nurtured a passion for all things travel since leaving New York in 1988 to reside in Honolulu, Hawaii for nearly four years. Subsequently residing in Savannah, Georgia; Monterey, California; Bavaria, Germany and Atlanta, Georgia over the last two decades, Leslie has taken advantage of these locales to explore the surrounding regions and neighboring countries.

Previously, Leslie was employed in the publishing field and then found her way into Human Resources and Retail Management. Adaptability is one of her greatest strengths. She also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English. Leslie is also proud of her CTA (Certified Travel Associate) status, a designation awarded by the Travel Institute that signifies the completion of a professional travel certification program. She also was awarded the Bavarian Ambassador Certificate which is given to travel professionals for in-depth knowledge of this region in Germany. In addition, she is a certified Italian Destination Specialist .

Pride is what drives Leslie to go the extra mile for her clients. She is success-oriented and motivated by a strong commitment to client satisfaction.
