Lesli Peterson is the Owner/Founder of 365 Atlanta Traveler. She made her way to Atlanta over 20 years ago, after living in Germany, Japan and six U.S. states. She relishes the discovery of obscure, offbeat and unwonted places, and she will chat up any willing stranger to uncover a new secret locale.

After 18 years in software development, Lesli bailed on the corporate scene. When she’s not traveling, she’s hiking in the mountains or checking out Atlanta’s culinary scene, whiskey in hand. Lesli has two kiddos -Cooper and Elliot- plus two bonus kids living in Athens, and she’s happily married to her soul mate.
