About
Former corporate executive following my passion - travel! I’ve traveled to 30 countries and 5 continents, many of which solo. I’m an avid photographer, foodie, adventurer and wildlife/nature lover. You’ll find me dreaming up my next itinerary and planning dream trips for others. Travel feeds my soul and I love bringing that feeling to others.

Travel style
I love to experience new places and immerse myself in the local culture. The perfect trip for me is a combination of local activities/sightseeing and then retiring to my luxury accommodations to rest-up for tomorrow's activities! While I love a five-star hotel, I’ve stayed in many types of accommodations and love to mix it up. I enjoy adventure, food & wine, relaxation and “wow moments” (sunset in the Sahara, Leopard safari in India). As an avid conservationist, I strive to plan trips that contribute directly to the local economy.

Lee's reviews
Lee was wonderful. She was very interested in the kind of trip I wanted to take and put together two great properties, one in Nevis and the other in St Kitts. I really appreciated Lee taking care of all the details and I’m already planning a trip with her for next year in Italy.

I am so glad that I chose Lee to help us with this trip! She knew exactly what I was looking for. She is knowledgeable, diligent and easy to work with, and I have recommended her to others. Azamara was the perfect cruise experience for me. I will be sure to call Lee to plan our next trip! Highly recommend!
