Hello Leslie Creative
Travel

Chasing the dream, one departure at a time

Honest notes from the road — the decision, the nerves, and the first morning somewhere new.

Travel where I've been

People always ask how to plan the islands I write about, so I put my favourite destinations together in one place. Browse the stays and flights I'd book myself and plan your own trip on Expedia.

Notes from the road

Grenada for my birthday, a cruise through the Bahamas, Tobago Carnival, and plenty of trips that never made it onto the page. These are the ones I've written about — new entries land here as I go.

Stamps in the passport

Some of these have a post behind them and some of them don't yet. The list keeps growing.

  • Home

    Trinidad & Tobago

    Born and raised there. Still the measure I hold everywhere else against.

  • September 2024

    Grenada

    My parents' island. I spent a birthday driving through nearly every parish with my aunt.

  • Carnival

    Tobago

    Loud, joyful, and the kind of noise that puts you back together.

  • By sea

    The Bahamas

    A cruise, which turned out to be a very good way to meet an island for the first time.

Why I go
Some things you can only learn a long way from home.

Let's make something on the road.

I'm a travel creator and writer. I make honest, unhurried work — the kind people actually save and send to a friend — with a writer's eye for the story and a studio background that means the deliverables arrive on time and on brief.

  • Short-form video for Instagram and TikTok — hotel walkthroughs, mornings, arrivals
  • Photo sets and stills, licensed for your own channels
  • Long-form written features here on the blog
  • Solo travel, moving abroad, and the Caribbean in particular
