About Me

Viking River Cruise and European cruise specialist

Have you seen those Viking River commercials on PBS? Well, the river cruises look just like that! Viking is one of my favorites. I cruised Viking on the Danube from Budapest to Passau, Germany as well as the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland just recently. Viking is amazing! Outstanding food, service and ships! Everything is taken care of for you. It truly is a wonderful way to see the world. I'll never forget lounging on the top deck, a drink in my hand watching castle after castle along the hillsides as we cruise slowly past. I can make this a reality for you too. Give me a call or send me an email. So many rivers and itineraries to choose from. I can find the right fit for you.

Our local Travel Leaders and Kathy Yarian are fantastic
We have used their services for years. The attention to detail has made our travels fantastic. Never a hiccup no matter how complicated our itinerary. Currently Kathy is helping us navigate changing plans for Spain and Portugal in light of the pandemic. She has taken the worry out of rescheduling plans.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Kathy helped us navigate the complicated requirements of both the airlines & the State of Hawaii during this vaccination era. We are amateurs and she is a pro. She is patient & willing to help whenever we call.

Things couldn't have been better!!!
Reviewed By Tracy J. - Columbia Station,OH | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Kathy put together an affordable, fun filled, great sight seeing, awesome hotel accommodations trip for us to Spain! Being new travelers to Europe, Kathy took care of every detail for us. She perfectly planned all our excursions and tours , each was better than the next but still with free time built in. And when our flight was cancelled on the way home, Kathy was right there on top of things getting us on a new flight in no time. We were so comfortable in Kathy's hands and look forward to planning another vacation with her soon! Give Kathy at Travel Leaders a try, You will not be disappointed!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    My Travel Stories

    Canadian Rockies

    Westward Ho!

    I remember as a child driving to the Grand Canyon, packed in a hot car with no air conditioning, stuffed between my 2 brothers and sister in our old station wagon. As unpleasant as that ride was, the destination was amazing.  Now that I am older, I've given up the long drive and opted for an escorted bus tour. That's where these Gl...

    Ireland in the off season....

    October in Ireland. WOW.  What a great time to visit this amazing country. We were lucky to have great weather for our entire week in Ireland. Just 1 misty day at the Cliffs of Moher.. not too bad!    Whether you rent a car and drive around the country yourself or take any number of small group tours, you can't go wrong by visiting...

    These are a few examples of my animal count on my recent trip to Alaska. This was my 4th trip to Alaska. I love everything about it!  The glaciers, the mountains, the unspoiled beauty and of course...the animals. Folks told me that the eagles are so abundant, almost like seagulls along the ocean but without all the squawking.  They...

A funny thing happened to me that I will never forget!  I was on one of the longest parts of a zipline and I stopped about 20 feet from the end platform(not by cho...

    Camel ride in Egypt and Jordan

    My cousin and I went to Israel, Egypt and Jordan to visit Petra in May 2019.  One of my goals was to ride a camel.  We arrived at the Pyramids at Giza. For a few dollars, you could get your picture taken on the camels in front of the pyramids, just like the photo here. Do you know how tall those camels are?? It's definitely a process to g...
