Travels with Leslie Sickler

01/03/2025

Are you thinking of traveling to one of our amazing destinations this year? I urge you to plan early! Spring Break inventory is already low and Christmas 2025 is already being actively booked. Please remember the properties in our destinations are small, typically under 50 rooms so if you want one of the coveted properties, I urge you to plan/book ASAP so you can be sure you get the trip you want...not what is left over.

As a reminder, we plan Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Colombia itineraries.

YAY I was FINALLY able to change the name of my page. Now it will reflect my travels to the places I work with as an agent with Namu Travel Group. So, welcome if you’re new and if you have been here a while, thanks for sticking it out through the change!

A hidden gem in Panama

Big news! I have made the very difficult choice to leave Dreams and Destinations travel after almost a decade of being part of their amazing team. I will miss them immensely and am so thankful for the years of support and guidance and friendship.

Next week I start on a new journey with Namu Travel as a specialist advisor for Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Guatemala and Colombia. Soon we will add Peru and Argentina to the list. I am so excited for this journey! Moving forward this page will be focused solely on those destinations and will probably have a name change.

If you want to plan a vacation to another destination, please reach out to my old agency at [email protected] and they will be happy to help you! You will be in great hands them.

My new email address for Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Guatemala & Colombia is: [email protected].

Thank you for being my wonderful clients! I appreciate each and every one of you!

I haven't posted much since my trip to Costa Rica! It was an amazing whirlwind of fun and excitement.

Experiencing Expotur surpassed my expectations with the valuable connections I established. I discovered some fantastic new and distinctive properties being offered, along with exciting adventure parks and activities. I will be featuring these new properties over the next few weeks!

I would like to thank the absolutely GORGEOUS AC Marriott Hacienda Belen for hosting me this week. What a beautiful hotel with the sweetest staff. The brand has modern design with a focus on technology and social interactions with live music and DJs. They are born from a Spanish hotelier and feature wines crafted specially for their brand and amazing Spanish items on their menus. They have an organic garden they are very proud of. Full buffet breakfast is included. Don’t think of them as just an airport or corporate hotel, they are SO MUCH more!
