The best moments of a vacation often center around discovering something new or going off the beaten path. But with that search for novelty comes a sense of the unknown, and for some, venturing into the unknown can be intimidating.
Travel advisors make the unknown approachable and rewarding. We use our extensive expertise and worldwide contacts to open up parts of the world you may never have considered traveling to before — whether it’s an engaging country or an exciting section of a city you’ve already visited before.
As you read this week’s edition of Armchair Explorer — which will inspire travel dreams to Europe, Philadelphia and Mexico, along with introducing you to some talented chefs — please know that any vacation we help you create can be enhanced with unforgettable experiences to the wonderfully unknown.
So please enjoy this week’s travel inspiration. We may not be able to travel right now, but our advisors are here for you when you are ready to start planning your fall, winter or 2021 travels.

Real stories on how travel advisors aid their clients.
“When it came time to book my honeymoon, I initially had no intention of using a travel advisor. Thank goodness I changed my mind. My advisor made the whole process so incredibly easy that I felt like a fool for trying to book a trip on my own. Then the coronavirus hit, and I was two weeks away from the wedding and honeymoon of my dreams. While others were posting on social media that they couldn’t even reach customer service agents . . . my advisor was in constant contact with me . . . and we will reschedule both our wedding and honeymoon. I am thankful I found Travel Leaders and used a travel advisor. I’d hate to be dealing with all this on my own. -Name withheld
