Custom Planning for Caribbean, Mexico & Hawaii
Hi, I’m Leslie — a travel planner, mom of two young boys, and a lifelong lover of adventure. Before having kids, I spent years traveling to some of my favorite places: Mexico, the Caribbean, Italy, and Hawaii — some of which now happen to be the destinations I specialize in for my clients!
As a Type—A, detail—obsessed planner, I pour my heart into every trip I design. I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle work, kids, and daily life, and then somehow find time to plan the perfect vacation. That’s why I treat every client's trip like it's my own family’s getaway: I get immersed in the details, the logistics, and the special touches, so you don’t have to.
I grew up on the East Coast, where summers were often spent traveling with my family. Those early experiences planted a love for travel that stayed with me as I got older — not just for the places themselves, but for the memories and perspective travel creates.
I later moved to Los Angeles, where I spent over 20 years building my professional career. It was there that my task—oriented, detail—focused, and multitasking skills truly took shape. Working in a fast—paced environment sharpened my ability to stay organized, manage moving pieces, and think several steps ahead — skills that continue to guide how I plan travel today.
Living in Los Angeles also opened the door to more travel. I began exploring new destinations with friends and on my own, developing a deeper appreciation for travel and the sense of humility it brings. Seeing new places, cultures, and ways of life reinforced my belief that travel is about more than just getting away — it’s about connection and perspective.
Shortly after the pandemic, I welcomed both of my sons and found myself at a natural crossroads. Motherhood reshaped my priorities and gave me a new lens through which to view work, balance, and fulfillment. Becoming a travel advisor allowed me to bring together my professional background, my love of travel, and the new skills motherhood strengthened — while also offering the flexibility to be present for my family.
Today, I specialize in planning thoughtfully organized trips to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico, working closely with trusted travel partners to create personalized, seamless getaways. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, as a couple, or on your own, my goal is to take the stress out of planning and help you feel supported from start to finish.
I believe vacations should feel exciting — not overwhelming. With clear communication, attention to detail, and a calm approach to planning, I’m here to guide you every step of the way so you can truly enjoy the experience. At the heart of everything I do is a simple goal: to help you travel with confidence, knowing the details have been handled with care. So, pack your bags. I’ll handle the rest.
Pack your bags. I'll handle the rest.
Client Testimonial
Leslie is amazing ... I needed help planning my daughter's birthday trip to Hawaii and of course I procrastinated for a whole year and found myself in a jam but Leslie was awesome and jumped right in and in less than a week she had my trip planned booked and set! We had the most amazing time in Oahu the trip included transportation to and from the airport, hotel and a special birthday Luau. My daughter had an amazing time and it is definitely a trip she will never forget. I cant wait for the next trip and of course I will not be planning it without Smiles for Miles. Highly recommend them!
