About Me

Approaching the Treasury in Petra
Approaching the Treasury in Petra

Jordan is a treasure trove of history, culture, and natural beauty, offering an unparalleled travel experience. From the bustling capital of Amman to the serene shores of Aqaba, the enchanting desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, and the ancient wonders of Petra and Jerash, Jordan captivates at every turn. When you book your journey with me, you’re choosing a seamless, bespoke adventure created by a seasoned expert in luxury travel.

Your Unforgettable Jordanian Itinerary

Amman: Where Ancient Meets Modern

Jordan’s capital is a vibrant mix of old and new. Stroll through the ancient Citadel, explore the Roman Amphitheater, and savor local delicacies at bustling markets. I’ll craft a customized experience, whether you want to delve into the city’s modern art scene, enjoy a private culinary tour, or relax in a luxurious boutique hotel.

Jerash: A Roman Marvel

Step into history at Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities outside Italy. Walk through its colonnaded streets, explore temples and amphitheaters, and feel transported back in time. With exclusive access to expert guides, I’ll ensure your visit is both educational and awe-inspiring.

Bethany Beyond the Jordan: A Spiritual Journey

Visit the sacred site where Jesus was baptized, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and faith. I’ll arrange for a private guide to provide rich insights into the significance of this peaceful and holy destination, making your visit deeply personal and meaningful.

Hammamat Ma’in: Rejuvenation in Nature

Soak in the mineral-rich hot springs of Hammamat Ma’in, nestled in dramatic cliffs and serene landscapes. Whether you’re indulging in a luxury spa treatment or enjoying a quiet moment by the cascading waterfalls, I’ll ensure your experience is both rejuvenating and unforgettable.

Wadi Rum: The Valley of the Moon

Discover the ethereal beauty of Wadi Rum, a vast desert landscape of towering cliffs and red sand dunes. I’ll organize unforgettable adventures, from camel treks and Jeep safaris to luxury camping under the stars in a private Bedouin-style tent. Add a hot-air balloon ride or stargazing experience to make your time here even more magical.

Aqaba: The Red Sea Paradise

End your journey with a stay in Aqaba, a haven of sun, sand, and sea. Relax at a five-star resort, snorkel or dive among vibrant coral reefs, or enjoy a private yacht excursion along the Red Sea. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, Aqaba offers the perfect conclusion to your Jordanian escape.

Professional Service with a Personal Touch
Reviewed By Jody & Marty - Solon, Iowa | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Leslie has a way of nailing down the perfect trip for us. Her knowledge of vacation destinations is vast, and the hotels and excursions she has hooked us up with have been first rate. She's professional, incredibly informed and is keenly aware that one size does not fit all. I appreciate that most of all. At her suggestion we recently took a Danube River cruise on the Scenic Amber. It was first rate. Scenic is a fabulous experience. We met great people and had a wonderful time. We saw beautiful cities along the Danube and, again at her suggestion, did a pre-cruise extension in Prague. It was simply wonderful. I whole-heartedly recommend Leslie. Give her a call for your next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sailing Adventure
Reviewed By Jane1 - Florida, Ontario | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Three friends from two countries decided to sail the Caribbean last winter. It was a bit complicated to arrange when dealing with two different currencies and schedules. Leslie handled these travel arrangements with courtesy and confidence. She made recommendations for hotels and leisure prior to boarding. She sent a full daily itinerary with photos of how the cruise would roll out. We knew we were in capable hands from the time we initiated the request for travel help to the end of the trip. And she apportioned the expenses appropriately guiding us what was highly recommended and what was optional. We could not have done this on our own. Another trip is brewing in my mind and she will organize it for us. Thank you Leslie

Awesome Cruise Experience
Reviewed By TravelMorein26 - Chattanooga, TN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Leslie helped us plan a cruise to the Caribbean for Thanksgiving. There were 18 people in our group and she made the process so smooth and seamless for us. All we had to do was pay the fare by the due date. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
