  Been there, done that —that’s what you want and need from a travel professional.

 

I love to travel; exploring new places, meeting new people, and trying new adventures far from my home here in Northeast Ohio. It’s a big world; why not see what’s out there?

For more than 34 years I’ve had a job doing what I love: traveling. I’ve planned trips for myself and for hundreds of others eager to see incredible, exciting and beautiful places, from Alaska’s dramatic coastline to Africa’s exotic deserts and other places too numerous to mention.Let’s plan a vacation that suits your style, whether it’s a trek around Europe, a hike through Hawaii or a week at an all-inclusive resort. Your interests plus my experience will turn your bucket list vacation into reality.

Let’s go.

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.

Reviewed By Tom & Bobbie - Westlake, Oh | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
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.

Kissing the Blarney Stone

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...
