About
I’m a curious soul who’s always planning my next travel adventure.
Travel style
I like to connect to people and culture for unforgettable moments. My favorite properties offer luxurious finishes mingled with colorful pasts. Think former palaces reinvented as luxe hotels or family palazzos transformed into plush apartments. My close relationships with guides in Italy, Spain, Morocco and beyond ensure clients discover the hidden gems in their chosen destinations.

Lee's reviews
Lee found the perfect vacation for us. She anticipated our needs, reminded us of key action steps we needed to take, provided clear instructions, helpful tips and made sure we were welcomed well in Mexico. Lee took the stress out of the vacation so that we could focus on being present in the moment and enjoying our time away.

Lee worked quickly and thoroughly and was most responsive to our wants and needs in both travel plans and accommodations. Trip was all that we hoped that it could be. We look forward to working with her in our future travel plans.

Lee was extremely professional and her insights helped take my trip to the next level. Lee totally understands family travel - that you need to have a few keys things organized each day to create structure, and that you need to leave time in the itinerary to wander. The restaurants picks, museums, and little shopping streets she guided us too made our London trip charming and unforgettable.
