Leah Velikonja grew up surrounded by travel, with her mother Sandy and both aunts Susan and Sharon shaping her early experiences through countless trips and adventures. From her childhood home decorated like a tribute to France, to her three-month exchange in Grenoble, and becoming fluent in French, Leah has always felt at home in Europe. Over the years, she’s joined family trips, explored destinations across the continent, and built her own expertise in designing seamless journeys. Now based in London, UK, Leah carries forward the Boutique Escapes legacy by blending her lifelong passion for travel with her professional role. She takes pride in creating itineraries that capture the spirit of Europe while making every trip feel effortless for clients.
