Lesli made her way to Atlanta over 20 years ago, after living abroad. She’s spending 2021 exploring the West Coast in an RV with her family and sharing this adventure from a Southerner’s perspective at 365 Atlanta Traveler.

Lesli has two kiddos -Cooper and Elliot- and she’s happily married to her soul mate, Dan.
