Introduction

What if you could share wisdom with your younger self?

That simple question became the spark behind Leigh Roams, Australia’s first AI travel and lifestyle influencer — and now, the star of a brand-new music video titled Come Roam With Me.

This project brings together the world of AI creativity and slow travel storytelling, transforming an experimental idea into a full-fledged piece of digital art. At its heart is a message many travelers can relate to: that the best journeys are about more than destinations. They’re about slowing down, connecting with culture, and letting the world surprise you.

With AI-powered tools for music, visuals, and animation, combined with human creativity and direction, Come Roam With Me showcases what’s possible when imagination meets technology. And it’s only the beginning.

🌱 The Origin Story

Every journey begins with a spark of curiosity — and this one began with a bold experiment.

What if we could take Sheridan-Leigh, a seasoned lifestyle mentor and travel blogger, and reimagine her 30 years younger? What if her wisdom, experience, and stories could be shared through a fresh, youthful voice that resonates with today’s travelers?

That idea gave birth to Leigh Roams, an AI-powered persona designed to embody the adventurous spirit of a 30-year-old traveler — approachable, curious, and inspiring. More than just a digital clone, Leigh became a way to explore a timeless question:

💡 What wisdom would you share with your younger self?

From there, the concept quickly grew. Leigh wasn’t created to be a gimmick — she was designed to open conversations, spark imagination, and connect across generations. Her role is to capture the essence of slow travel, blending playfulness with insight, showing that travel is not just about racing through checklists, but about savouring meaningful moments.

This “younger self” approach became the narrative thread: messages to a younger Sheridan, framed through the lens of travel. It’s advice, reflection, and inspiration — wrapped up in a character that feels both fresh and authentic.

Why does this matter? Because it marks a first for Australia: the launch of a fully realized AI travel and lifestyle influencer, not just as a social media experiment but as a storyteller with a voice, a look, and now — a song.

🌍 Who Is Leigh Roams?

At 30 years old, Leigh Roams represents more than just an AI character. She’s a traveler, a storyteller, and a voice for a generation of curious explorers who want more from their journeys than postcard-perfect selfies.

Leigh is designed to be relatable rather than flawless. She’s attractive but not a supermodel, confident yet approachable, adventurous while staying grounded in values. Her look is instantly recognizable:

  • Dark red curly hair, full of movement and character.
  • Signature Jewelry — a delicate gold chain with a small cross pendant and a light gold bracelet on her left wrist.
  • Style that blends chic comfort with travel practicality: sundresses, denim jackets, cardigans, sneakers or sandals depending on the journey.

But more important than her appearance is her personality. Leigh embodies:

  • Curiosity — always eager to explore new cultures and experiences.
  • 💬 Openness — opinionated yet kind, she shares her thoughts like a friend.
  • 💝 Compassion — giving back, volunteering, and connecting with people wherever she goes.
  • 🌱 Wisdom — shaped by the idea of sharing lessons with her younger self.
  • 🙏 Spirituality — grounded in Christian faith, but also influenced by Buddhism and karma, blending both in her outlook.

Her tagline is also her promise:
Travel Smarter. Live Deeper™.

Through her role as ambassador for MyLifestyle.au, Leigh connects the blog’s ethos of slow travel and cultural immersion with a new, AI-powered way of storytelling. She is, in essence, the bridge between past wisdom and future possibilities.

🎶 The Music Video: Come Roam With Me

Watch the Video Here

Music has a way of carrying emotion that words alone cannot. With Come Roam With Me, Leigh Roams’ debut music video, travel is transformed into melody, rhythm, and imagery.

The song itself was born from a simple idea: what if travel could be set to music that inspires, teaches, and uplifts? Using Suno AI for composition and ChatGPT for lyrical development, the result is an original track that feels both modern and timeless.

✍️ The Lyrics

The lyrics invite listeners to slow down, embrace the journey, and reflect on the lessons travel offers:

  • 🌅 Sunrise moments that spark wonder.
  • 🍵 Café corners where stories unfold.
  • 🏞️ Hikes and hidden bays that call us to adventure.
  • 💝 Acts of kindness that remind us travel is about giving, not just taking.

The chorus carries the brand’s heart:
Travel Smarter. Live Deeper™ — come roam with me.

🎥 The Visual Story

The video pairs these lyrics with cinematic scenes that reflect both aspiration and relatability:

  • Leigh journaling in a park, capturing quiet wisdom.
  • Dancing joyfully with locals at a cultural festival.
  • Smiling on a cliffside, arms open wide to the horizon.
  • Walking through vibrant markets and helping vendors.
  • Relaxing in moments of comfort — cafés, spa retreats, boutique hotels.
  • Hiking rugged terrain, backpack on, hair blowing in the wind.

Together, these visuals form a travel philosophy in motion. The message is clear: the best adventures aren’t rushed. They’re savoured, shared, and remembered.

🎬 The Creative Process (Behind the Scenes)

What makes Come Roam With Me unique isn’t just the end result, but how it was made. This project is a showcase of what’s possible when AI tools and human creativity work side by side.

🛠️ The Tools

Each stage of production drew from a different AI capability:

  • ChatGPT → collaborated on lyrics, narrative flow, and script refinement.
  • Suno AI (V5) → composed the music and refined the lyrics.
  • Ideogram → created ultra-realistic images of Leigh in diverse travel settings.
  • Blotato (Veo2) → animated stills into short, cinematic video clips.
  • HeyGen → gave Leigh performance ability through lip sync and digital voice.
  • Pexels → Royalty Free 4K Drone video footage
  • Wondershare Filmora → stitched everything together into a polished final video.
  • Blotato (Distribution) → social media creatives and multiple platform distribution.

⚡ The Challenges

The process wasn’t without hurdles:

  • Maintaining visual consistency of Leigh across different AI outputs. (Specifically AU size 16)
  • Navigating TikTok and platform rules around AI-generated characters. (Synthesised Authority)
  • Ensuring the video balanced AI novelty with authentic storytelling value.

These challenges became part of the creative journey — lessons in how to guide technology toward a cohesive vision.

✨ The Breakthrough

Bit by bit, the pieces came together. A lyric here, a visual there, a touch of animation — and suddenly, Leigh wasn’t just an idea, she was a performer with her own music video.

The result? A proof of concept that AI can be more than a tool. It can be a collaborator, expanding what’s possible for artists, storytellers, and brands.

By drawing from Sheridan-Leigh’s lived experience and reframing it through a younger AI persona, the project creates a bridge:

  • Older travelers see their wisdom reflected.
  • Younger travelers see themselves represented in Leigh’s energy.
  1. ✨ Proof of Possibility

This music video is also a demonstration of what’s possible when AI and humans collaborate. It shows that AI can amplify stories rather than replace them, offering creators new ways to inspire audiences.
