Lesli Peterson
Lesli Peterson has been working as a travel writer for over a decade, finally following her dream once she’d bailed on 18 years in the software development corporate scene. She has settled in Atlanta after spending a lifetime of exploring, including eight years of residence in Germany and Japan. She owns 365 Atlanta Traveler, where she encourages Southerners to vacation beyond The Mouse. You can also find her work on The Local Palate Magazine, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, NPR, USA Today, and more.
Lesli relishes the discovery of obscure, offbeat, and unwonted places, and she will chat up any willing stranger to uncover a new secret locale. When she’s not traveling, she’s hiking in the mountains or checking out Atlanta’s culinary scene, whiskey in hand. Lesli has two children, Cooper and Elliot, plus two bonus kids living in Athens, and she’s happily married to her soul mate.
