The Leanos's Travels

a 32 year old female traveling as a couple from Calgary

We've now been living in London for more than two years and love it. We love everything London has to offer, including the proximity to Europe. We work hard and deserve to play hard, so once a month we take a trip somewhere...either in England or beyond, but we have been given the opportunity to see some amazing places, meet some amazing people and have experiences that have forever changed our lives.

The Leanos has visited 20 places in 57 cities in 16 countries and has written 10 travel blogs with 99 entries.
