Hi! I'm Leigh, a freelance writer, concierge and marketing consultant based in Park City, Utah. I've been obsessed with travel since my childhood, thanks to adventurous parents, aunts, and uncles. Telling travel stories through photography inspired me to start a travel blog. In 2017, I left a corporate career to pursue travel writing full-time.
