ABOUT LEIGH ANN

Founder, Advisor & Passionate Traveler

One of my favorite sayings is “If you want something bad enough, be dedicated to it.” Over the years I have been tested and refined as a leader in the company. I believe more than ever that travel is needed to remind us we are all living together, but in our different cultures on this beautiful planet! As the leader of Carson Travel my focus is on my team and overseeing the day-to-day operations for my team’s success in the business.

Luxury travel, wine tours, and working with my recurring clients keep me busy. I love introducing clients to new luxury experiences in travel. I have enjoyed 20 years in the travel industry and 17 of those leading Carson Travel. I love leading small groups and traveling the world. As a WSET III, I bring a wonderful wine educational experience on my private wine tours with my clients. These are my favorite experiences!
