I get it. With limited PTO and hard-earned money to spend, every choice matters. I’m LéRie, and I started this blog to share my love for travel through honest reviews and real firsthand advice for fellow travelers who want maximum value from every trip.
I believe in traveling as wellness. Quality over quantity. Honest value assessment. Authentic experiences. I tell the actual story, the real version of how things went for me.
Life has taken me down many fascinating paths; teaching middle school math and science, working as a firefighter/EMT, a nonprofit C-suite executive, and spending time as an au pair in Spain. Through all of it, one thing remained constant: my love for travel and new experiences. These weren’t gap year backpacking adventures. They were carefully planned trips that had to fit around real life, work schedules, and actual budgets.
My undergraduate studies in Hospitality and Tourism Management, backed by hands-on roles across FOH, BOH, resort guest services, and more, deepened my love for travel and gave me a distinct perspective on guest experience design, service standards, and operational excellence. As a Certified Specialist of Wine, I bring deeper intention to every dining experience, paying attention to what’s on the plate, what’s in the glass, and what makes a wine list truly exceptional.
