About your organizer

Hi, I’m Leah aka offtheclocknurse... nurse by trade, wanderer by heart. Based in Denver but rarely standing still, I caught the travel bug during 7.5 wild years as a Travel Nurse, taking off between contracts to country-hop and chase new adventures. Now I host group trips around the world to meet epic people, dive into new cultures, eat everything in sight, and make memories that don’t fit on postcards. Let’s get lost (in the best way).
