As a freelance writer, I specialize in travel and fashion writing. Whether you need someone to write a shopping guide of San Francisco or a review of budget hotels in Buenos Aires, I will be happy to work with your publication’s needs. I have traveled extensively in the US and abroad and have written articles about many of the destinations I have visited. I am a local of the Monterey Bay Area in California, so if you are looking for someone to navigate the innumerable hidden treasures within Santa Cruz, Monterey, Pacific Grove, or Big Sur, it would be my pleasure to assist you. If you would like me to write for you, please contact me. Whether shopping in Argentina, volunteering in Madagascar, or whisky tasting in Scotland, Leslie is always ready for an adventure. An avid world-explorer and self proclaimed fashionista, Leslie is a creative gal with an eye for style. This California native lives to travel the world and explore its beauty in a unique way, then share her tales with others. Although she obtained a BS in Fashion Marketing and Management from the Art Institute of California, San Francisco, her true love is writing and she is currently pursuing her dream of being a freelance travel and fashion writer. Leslie is also writing her first novel, a historical drama set in 19th Century France and South America.
