Independent Contractor

After 36 years of traveling extensively for my job in corporate America, I now use that wealth of experience to help others navigate the globe in meaningful ways. I specialize in family travel, solo sojourns and group excursions for all ages, and I’m thrilled to help clients turn their travel dreams into reality.

From a home base in North Carolina, I pour daily energy into planning, researching and facilitating travel for others based on my solid expertise and well-honed skills. A background in engineering provides an attention to detail that allows me to send travelers on their way to a stress-free and perfectly planned adventure. Whether it’s an all-inclusive cruise journey or culturally specific land tours, I make sure the experience is both life-enhancing and just-plain-fun.

By visiting more than 20 fascinating countries and islands, including Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Greece, Malta, Norway, Hong Kong, Gibraltar, the Caribbean and the UAE, I’m well-equipped to handle any type of travel details. From renting cars in foreign countries to booking onshore cruise excursions, traveling with elderly parents, or planning a cross-country FIT trip across Austria, I’ve done it all and am thrilled to share tips, tricks and travel trivia with all clients in my care.

I also make sure that travelers are not left to their own devices when exploring this great-big world we all share. I’ve intervened on client’s behalf during a train strike in France, numerous flight cancellations, re-bookings and travel-insurance issues. During the uncertainty of travel in the days of COVID-19, I’ve gone out of my way to counsel clients on when – and how – to alter their vacation plans. Having a trusted travel professional on your side during both wonderful and challenging journeys can make all the difference.

When not embarking on new adventures myself or facilitating meaningful travel for clients, I enjoy spending time with family, golfing and gathering with friends both near and far.

A talented trip planner

Reviewed By John - Asheville, NC | Traveled to Scandinavia ~ Europe
Leighann is wonderful. She is smart, dependable, honest and gracious. She and her husband have become good friends. She is very detail oriented. She is loves cruising and will thrive with Sunburst Cruses. We traveled with her to the Mediterranean in the past. She also scheduled our March 2020 British Isles and Scandinavian trips but both were cancelled due to virus pandemic. She was professional and helped schedule all aspects of the back to back trip. She arranged special excursions and found great prices. When the trips were cancelled, she helped secure our refunds.

Excellent communication in difficult times

Reviewed By Alison - Winston-Salem | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Leigh Ann from Sunburst Cruises and Travel has been extremely helpful during a very difficult time. With so much uncertainty surrounding travel plans with the coronavirus, Leigh Ann has been responsive to all my questions and concerns. She has stayed in contact with frequent updates, taken care of things for us, and ultimately kept us calm and relaxed during this stressful time. We highly recommend her for any travel planning. We plan to continue to work with her once we get to a time where we can safely travel again.
