About Me

I'm Leandra Brooks! But my friends these days call me Lenny. My Husband Jayk and I love to travel, find local adventures, and document it all along the way. We do this all while "balling on a budget" because at the end of the day, we still have very "real" and "normal" lives. 

​

We both had some amazing opportunities to travel before meeting, and since being married have prioritized these experiences together as often as possible. We've learned some pretty great tips and tricks along the way that we hope to share with you! We've curated these posts to help others  make the most out of their time here on this beautiful planet.

​

In our own pursuit of adventure, we quickly realized many travel blogs were unrealistic, lacked critical details for making or breaking a trip, and were well... just full of buzzwords like "wanderlust", and "winding cobblestone streets". While those were appealing to us, we wanted the REAL and RAW details behind how these escapades were possible. That is our goal here at Leaving with Lenny, to inspire YOU to see all the world has to offer, within realistic day to day expectations, plans, and budgets.

Thanks for being here,

J&L Brooks
