Your European & Luxury Travel Specialist!

I love all parts of the globe from the Caribbean to Italy, no matter by land or sea. I have traveled to the Islands, Italy, London and beyond, and have 28 years of experience planning vacations for individuals, couples, and families in the DC area. My favorite activity when I'm not planning trips is relaxing on a beach. I love the outdoors and spending time with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, "Lily". My other passion is my family, including 16 nieces and nephews. I am an expert in any type of adventure you are planning from a honeymoon to a family reunion or great trip to remember for a life time. I would love to help you plan yours!

Italy Destination Expert

Italy Destination Expert

<p>I love helping clients make lasting memories -- it's what I enjoy most about being a travel agent, and I work hand-in-hand with my clients to ensure that their vacations will exceed their expectations and fulfill their dreams.</p>
<p>I reside in the Washington, D.C. area where I grew up and have lived my entire life. However, I love traveling, and I am enchanted with Italy. From the countryside to the beautiful coast, there is so much to see and do. It is gratifying to be able to plan trips that will capture the passions of my clients, whatever they may be. </p>
<p>Italy is so diverse -- with a tremendous variety of sightseeing opportunities, all of them beyond compare. My travels to Italy have deepened my appreciation for the food and the history of this unique country, and I feel qualified to plan trips for my clients that are "tailor-made" for delight.  </p>
<p>My goal is that every client should have a wonderful time, and I work diligently to make certain that no detail goes unnoticed. I even stay in touch during the trip so that there will be no flaws in the arrangements.</p>
<p>The island of Capri, with its friendly people, gorgeous water and captivating cliffs, is a magical place, and a special favorite of mine, but I always listen to my clients and plan travel and excursions based on their special interests and needs. I worked with one client for six months to plan the "trip of a lifetime." I work closely with clients throughout the planning process, acting more as a "coach" than simply a booking agent. </p>
<p>I can arrange for specialty shopping, a cooking class with a local chef, or unique museum visits and excursions. I can even recommend a place to get a cappuccino in a small village!</p>

Marianne - Anguilla ~ Anguilla ~ Caribbean
Leslie was great. We decided on this trip last minute and she listened to what experience we were looking for and was able to deliver a great trip on relatively short notice.
Chuck - Ireland ~ Europe
Leslie planned our entire trip to Greece last summer/2015. We had not been to Greece before so we were relying completely on her. We had had wonderful experiences with her before, so we trusted her. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. Things started wonderfully with the person who met us at the Athens airport and took us to the hotel she recommended and booked for us. The hotel was great and perfectly situated close to old Athens and the Acropolis. She arranged a terrific private tour of the Acropolis with a Greek archeologist. She also chose spectacular accommodations for us in Santorini. She made many more arrangements ( car, plane, boat) for us and we were delighted by everything she did. She thought of everything and there wasn't a single glitch in the entire trip.
