What they say

"I’ve known Leanne for years, and travelling with her feels like being quietly led into the inner life of a place. Nothing is surface-level – there’s always another layer, a backstreet, a conversation, a meal you’d never find on your own. You don’t just see a destination, you start to understand how it works."

Antony Suvalko, Publisher, Red Pork Press, Auckland
"Travelling with Leanne is a riot… in the best possible way. Backstreet bars, hole-in-the-wall eateries, and unexpected moments that turn a trip into a story are all part and parcel. It’s more adventure than itinerary – and somehow you always eat better and take better photos when she’s around."

Norman Andrews I.T. Professional, Sydney
"Food, markets, local quirks, shopping – you always seem to land in the best of it. There’s an ease to it on the ground, like you’re being gently steered towards the good stuff without ever having to plan or second-guess. Nothing feels random, but like a sequence of stops that build into a much richer trip."

Anne Barton, Creative Director, Uki
“Before a trip, a catch-up with Leanne always helps set the tone – you come away with a clearer sense of what matters in a destination, plus a handful of under-the-radar food recommendations you’d never find on your own. Her writing on Lazy Sunday Club is just as sharp and honest; no fluff, just a clear point of view on food and travel.”
