Leslie Kane

Inclusive Escapes

Leslie's journey into inclusive travel planning was inspired by a lifetime of adventures with her brother, Lyle, who rocks an extra chromosome resulting in Down syndrome. Traveling together taught her the value of thoughtful planning and the joy of discovering new places, fueling her passion to help others create their own unforgettable experiences.

Before diving into travel advising, Leslie earned her master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Minnesota State University, Mankato. Her career began at the Center for Creative Arts Therapy, where she wore many hats—from marketing to overseeing student training and community events. This experience honed her skills in organization, communication, and understanding people's unique needs—all of which she brings to her travel clients today.

When not planning trips, you might find Leslie auditioning for local theatre productions, practicing aerial silks, or swing dancing in Downtown Aurora. It's no surprise that her favorite part of packaged vacationing is the entertainment!

In 2024, Leslie was honored to be named a "Four Under 40" recipient by the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, recognizing emerging young professional leaders.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first big adventure, Leslie would love to help you navigate the complexities of travel planning for a seamless, stress-free (and well-deserved!) escape!
