I am passionate about travel and enjoy creating memories for my clients. I have planned many vacations that helped make my clients dreams come true. I caught the travel bug listening to my great aunt tell me all her travel stories from faraway lands. I knew at that moment that I needed to experience all the things she told me about. I love the thrill of visiting somewhere I’ve never been as well as returning to the comfort of my favorite vacation spots. From the majestic beaches at the Sandals Resorts in the Caribbean to the glaciers in Alaska, now is the time to explore. Travel is a way to connect to our global community and experience it first hand through the cultures, history, and great food. Let me help you make your dreams come true.

Experienced agent planning perfect vacations
My most recent exciting trip was to the beautiful island of Aruba. The crystal blue water and breathtaking beaches welcomed me with open arms. The island catch phrase “One Happy Island” proved to be true as everyone I met had a smile on their face. I found the island very easy to get around to see all the interesting sights, from the Natural Bridge, Lighthouse, Alto Vistal Chapel, De Palm Island, and the amazing Arikok National Park there are plenty of things to keep you busy. This also a great destination for shoppers and gamblers. Along the main Noord region you can find many shops and almost every hotel has a casino. Whatever your heart desires, come find it on this happy little island.

Awesome trip and memories made to treasure!
Reviewed By Dawn - Menasha | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
She was so amazing to work with. She knew having a hotel with a breakfast was important and she found us one. She got us the best deals . Suggested the universal meal plan,fast passes and found the best flights. Always answered my questions fast. Was flexible to get together so it worked with my work schedule. She just gave you a sense of peace that she was doing EVERYTHING to make your trip the best it can be. When we got home we had received a nice home made card welcoming us home and hoping our trip was wonderful and we made many memories to treasure! Travel Leaders will continue to have our business. Kelly was a pure delight to work with and always so sincere and perfessional!

We love working with Kelly, at Travel leaders. We always ask alot of questions, and she is always open to that. When we travel, we always feel that everything is covered, and would not want to travel out of the country, without her knowledge and experience.

We had a great trip to Jamaica. Kelly found us a clean and beautiful resort, even though we contacted her sort of last minute. Travel was very smooth and we had a really good time.

Client Testimonials
Europe family vacation!
Kelly at Travel Leaders is our go to person with our travel needs. She recently booked 9 family members on a trip to Europe with seats assigned and insurance. It ended up costing less than others, who booked separately.
Todd Miller
She is the best!
We (and our friends) have Kelly plan our vacations because she's efficient, pays attention to details & is personal. Kelly has our best interest in mind when helping decide where to go, how to get there, and what to do after arrival. Kelly is committed to helping us have the best possible travel experience, and we'll continue to work with her in the years ahead. She's the best!
Kris Van Lith
Prompt and Professional!
We’ve had the privilege of working with Kelly for a number of trips, including Cozumel, Punta Cana and Aruba. We always have specific dates and pricing in mind and Kelly works with us all along the way (patiently responding to my many questions) with professionalism. In our 30 years of marriage and extensive travel we’ve worked with other agents who’ve over promised and under delivered. Not so with Kelly. I would highly recommend her for any of your travel needs. She’s a rock star. ..already working on our Spring 2020 getaway! We would highly recommend her for crafting your next getaway.

Boot on the Beach Vacation
I did last years Boots on the Beach group trip and Kelly was very, very helpful in getting me signed up for the trip and explaining everything along the way. She kept me updated on everything and answered every question I had, including the insurance for the trip. I am planning on working with Kelly again on this years trip and I've already reached out about a concern I had and she got back to me right away. Kelly is super helpful and always friendly with quick replies.
