Hi there! I’m Ree Lesher, the travel-loving soul behind In Search of Elsewhere Travel—where I turn wanderlust into reality! I may be a certified travel agent, but my true expertise comes from firsthand experience—because I don’t just plan incredible trips, I live them.
I’ve cruised the Nile in Egypt, driven Iceland’s Ring Road, hiked around the sacred Uluru rock in Australia, wandered through Hobbiton in New Zealand, and cruised the sunny Caribbean—just to name a few.

Based in Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, I’m surrounded by rugged coastlines, towering mountains, and endless outdoor adventures—reminding me that exploration starts right in our own backyard.
