Leanne has enjoyed travel since she was 5 years old when she took her first international trip to visit family. She loves creating joy for others. Both of which is why she’s chosen to partner with CharlotteJames in what she calls “her 4th quarter” of life adventure!

Whether it’s a private trip, business incentive program, board meetings, retreats for corporate or coaching groups, or any other niche, Leanne will tailor to your discriminate needs.
With more than 30 years in the travel industry, her love of travel started when she began developing national sales incentive programs for Showtime Networks wanting to create “once in a lifetime experiences” for front line employees to executives. From there she fulfilled a lifelong dream of moving to Hawaii and living on Maui where she worked as Operations Director for a Destination Management Company, leading a team and operating Fortune 500 company incentive programs throughout the Hawaiian Islands for more than 18 years. Currently, her passion for travel continues as a travel designer where she creates experiences and adventures for companies, specialty groups and individuals for incentive programs, multi-generational families, healing retreats and destination weddings.
