Hi, I'm Lesley,  the founder of  Sunsoaked Travel! By day, I’m a high school librarian who loves curating lessons that inspire discovery and creativity. By night (and weekends), I’m a travel advisor who believes that planning your dream trip should be exciting—not stressful.

Travel has always been one of my greatest joys. My daughter has been my favorite travel buddy for years, but now she and her friends are off exploring the world and creating their own adventures. Watching them inspired me to turn my passion for travel into something more. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to sort through endless options, compare prices, and piece together the perfect itinerary. That’s why I started Sunsoaked Travel: to make the process simple, approachable, and personalized for every traveler.

Whether you’re a college student looking for an unforgettable spring break, a couple ready to travel at your own pace, or a group of friends planning a getaway, I’ll work with you to create a trip that fits your budget and your dreams. I specialize in cruises with curated pre- and post-adventures, tour packages, and customized itineraries designed to make every moment count. As a cruise enthusiast myself, I love helping others experience the ease and excitement of seeing the world from the deck of a ship.

At Sunsoaked Travel, there is no cost to you—because planning should be fun, not stressful. My goal is to take care of the details so you can focus on what really matters: soaking up the experience. Whether it’s a sun-soaked beach getaway, a fishing adventure, or a cruise packed with exciting excursions, I’m here to help you plan a trip that’s just right for you.

When I’m not planning travel, you’ll find me at my little camp in Bay St. Louis, MS, enjoying everything this charming coastal town has to offer. Let’s work together to create your next adventure—one that’s safe, fun, and full of memories you’ll treasure forever!
