Behind Les Journeys

I’m Leslie, a travel advisor and planner with a deep curiosity for culture, food, and the small details that shape how a place feels. Travel has always been where I feel most present — a way to slow down, observe, and connect with the world in meaningful ways.

Over time, travel has taught me the value of balance. Exploration and curiosity are essential, but so is comfort — knowing when to wander and when to settle in. The most memorable trips leave space for both iconic experiences and quieter moments of discovery.

That sense of ease comes from thoughtful planning. I’ve always been drawn to organization because mapping out details ahead of time allows one to be fully present once a journey begins.

Les Journeys grew from that instinct, helping clients navigate endless options and turn them into thoughtfully designed journeys shaped around how they want to travel.
