About the author
Having moved sixteen times across four continents, speaking four languages (Arabic, French, English and Portuguese), Leslie's world is truly international. Leslie conceived the Living In Series and now coordinates a team of researchers and writers around the world. All books in the Series are based on personal tested and trusted experiences.
Of Lebanese origin, Leslie left her home country for the first time at the age of 17 in order to pursue her university education. French educated, Leslie had to learn quickly in her first Anglo-Saxon home how to adapt in order to take full advantage of the many opportunities which presented themselves to her. Every time a move comes along, new lessons are learned. This gives her the ability to explain through her books in a clear yet simple way the different cultures which exist around the world. Her readers will be aware that each city they move to, conduct business in or visit distinguishes itself from any other they might be familiar with despite the existing similarities. This includes cities within a same country as well as cities close to one another geographically.
Familiar with the corporate world, Leslie enjoys interacting with people at all levels. Communication is one of Leslie’s strengths and passion. The Living In Series will help readers familiarize themselves and anticipate what to expect when coming to a new city for a visit, on business and/or when considering a move there. By going beneath the surface, the reader will feel the true heart beat of the city.
