Mini bio
How it started.
Lesley grew up in Arkansas, studied Broadcast News and Psychology at the University of Georgia, and worked in Washington, D.C., before appearing on The Bachelor. In 2013 she moved to Buenos Aires to work in luxury hospitality marketing. That experience helped shape the travel writing that became The Road Les Traveled in 2014.
Making room for connection.
In 2017, after testing positive for a BRCA2 mutation, she chose a preventive double mastectomy and shared her experience publicly. In 2018, she created LimitLes trips to bring women together through travel, movement and shared purpose.
The road keeps growing.
She and her husband, Alex Kavanagh, co-hosted The Road Les Traveled podcast in 2024, talking about travel and family life. Later that year, she launched LimitLes Travel Group, a luxury travel agency. Her guides now include adventures with their two daughters.
