Discovery, adventure, and personal growth have always been a driving force in my life. I don’t remember a time when I haven’t actively been in search of what’s next. I want to know more, experience more, be brave more, and share more. This couldn’t be truer to how I feel about travel. I love traveling: the excitement of planning, the anticipation of departure, the wide-eyed thrill of travel days, the rush I feel when I arrive, the emotion, beauty, adventure, culture, and joy I experience while I’m there, and the stories and excitement I get to share with others.

I love helping you uncover the unique experiences that will expand your world.
Tell me what you want to feel, discover, and learn, and I’ll help you create an experience you'll never get over.

hi, i'm leslie Brindley, founder of palmer studio

Leslie, on Naxos.

scandinavia

The first time I visited Oslo, I had this incredible feeling of going home. The displays in the Nasjonal Museet, its focus on design, the sensibilities of the people, and even the open-faced sandwiches with salmon, capers, and mustard. Everybody and everything felt familiar. My Grandma was Norwegian and so much of what I saw and experienced reminded me of her. It was an emotional trip. 

I'm mastering my Norwegian and planning another extended trip across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Their charming villages, warm and creative people, and sense of adventure have captured my heart. I'd love to help you discover Scandinavia, too!
