About Me

Adriatic Travel Adventures

Venice, Italy
Venice, Italy

I design travel experiences inspired by both the quiet, everyday moments and the vibrant energy of new places. Whether it's savoring a peaceful morning coffee in a hidden café, wandering through bustling markets, or pausing on a park bench to soak in your surroundings, I believe the beauty of travel is found in both the ordinary and the unexpected. My approach is deeply personal and always flexible, shaped by the unique rhythm of each destination and the individual dreams of every traveler I work with.

Having explored more than fifty countries, specializing in the diverse Adriatic region, I draw from a tapestry of memories to design journeys that go beyond sightseeing, focusing instead on how a place makes you feel.

I’m passionate about noticing the small details that make each adventure unforgettable, from the aroma of fresh rain on ancient cobblestone streets in Italy, to watching the mist slowly lift from the mountains in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. If you're ready to embark on a new adventure, let's collaborate to design a travel experience that is as unique and memorable as you are.

 

Highlights of the Adriatic:

Gjirokastër, Albania: beloved for its massive open-air bazaar, fortified Ottoman-era houses, and its delicious regional cuisine.

Kotor, Montenegro: enjoy the Ladder of Kotor, a peaceful hike to St John’s Fortress, with impressive views of the bay.

Logar Valley, Slovenia: marvel at one of the most beautiful alpine glacial valleys in Europe. 

Orvieto, Italy: relax in this charming, medieval town while sipping a glass of Orvieto wine and admiring the beauty of the Umbrian countryside.

A life-changing trip!
Reviewed By Ezra - Mazatlán, México | Traveled to Italy | Europe
I traveled to Italy and Greece for a month and didn't have to plan anything. I had an incredible time, and every detail was carefully planned out and done in such an efficient way. The tours were always so fun, and Lesli found the best restaurants in every town we went to instead of just googling restaurants. We went to local places with the best food I've ever tasted in my life, and it felt so much more authentic. That trip truly changed my life, and I can't wait for the moment I can book another trip with Lesli!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mother/Daughter trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Kellee - Mazatlán, México | Traveled to Greece | Europe
My daughter and I traveled to Europe for a month. Lesli planned EVERY detail of our time, which allowed us to extend our trip as long as we did. I had never been to Europe but was very pleased with all of our lodging, transportation, day trips, meals, and tours. I did zero in terms of planning...Lesli literally booked everything, and we just enjoyed our month of travel, worry free! I am already thinking of our next trip and will gladly work with Lesli to plan our entire travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Experience of a lifetime in Guatemala!
Reviewed By kellinick - Dayton, Ohio | Traveled to Guatemala | Central America
Lesli planned the best trip I’ve been on in my 40+ years of traveling! While I was trying to stay within a budget the trip itself did not feel like that one single bit! I loved that we bounced around and experienced the little areas of Lake Atitlan for a few days at a time. Got to enjoy the culture, the city life, small shops and restaurants as well as a few lake trips. She knew all the best spots in Antiqua and it made me feel right at home. Hiking, walking with the Holy Week processional, riding 4-wheelers on the side of a volcano, all of her recommendations were amazing. Can’t recommend her enough & will absolutely be going back!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
