Leslie Parker

I have been working in the travel industry since I was in college—about the time I first fell in the love with Italy. And while I spent many years as a lawyer, I have come back to my passion for traveling and creating wonderful travel experiences for others.

My passion is Italy, but I plan travel all over Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, The Arctic regions ... and cruising the world. I love helping people plan experiences through independent or escorted travel. I believe travel is about discovery of the world and of oneself, and I truly enjoy collaborating with my clients in creating experiences designed to make their dreams come true. By getting to know my clients travel styles, preferences and passions, I strive to create memorable and meaningful experiences.

I believe in exploring new destinations, but also in returning to places I have already visited to find new experiences, or to do or see something I missed last time. I like being pampered, but I also like living like a local, finding my own way. There are so many ways to experience the world and I can help you create experiences that fit your style.

I recently visited my 7th continent!
