coffee first.

Wild places, good coffee, great wine & everything in between.

Hi, I'm Lea.

Somewhere between Portugal and the South African bush, usually looking for good coffee, a beautiful place to walk, and an excuse to order the wine.

Life with Lea is where I keep the places, thoughts and little things I want to remember.

Travel guides, hidden gems, hikes and weekend getaways.

Coffee shops, restaurants, wine farms and things worth ordering twice.

Life in your twenties, routines, home and the little things.

Thoughts about creativity, career and figuring things out.

Stories, guides and thoughts worth reading.

Operations is the unsung hero of every team. In the AI age, it just rebranded.

A little pixie dust, not accounting, some Econ, and a lot of luck.

To every version of me that got us here.
