Travel to Unique Locations in Europe and Africa

Having been in the travel business for over 30 years, I still love my job selling travel.  Of course, along with selling travel is the opportunity to travel, which is why most of us got into this business.   I've traveled extensively across the world, with Europe and Africa being my favorites.

I enjoy making people's travel dreams come true.  There is nothing you can buy in life that is more fulfilling than travel.  The memories of places visited and enjoyed stay with you for a lifetime.

I love travelling and sharing my insights.  Having traveled to Europe and Africa dozens of times over the past 30 years makes me especially well-suited to help you plan your next adventure abroad.  I would love to assist in making your European river cruise or African Safari a flawless escape. I will help you craft a dream itinerary.


I work only with trusted tour companies such as Micato Safaris, Tauck Tours, Silversea Cruises and others that I have established relationships with.  I know that when my clients travel with trusted tour companies they will be assured of a smooth trip, and should something unforeseen come up, they will be taken care of.



When you choose to go to a knowledgeable travel agent, you'll get someone that, many times, has experienced the destination personally and has intimate knowledge and tips to make your trip more enjoyable.  We pride ourselves in our professional contacts around the world to make your journey better.  

I'm proud to say that I won the National Travel Leaders "Agent of the Year" for 2013, the only vacation agent to do so.

I work with groups as well as individuals, with many honeymoon couples, retired couples, singles, family reunions, adventure seekers, relaxation seekers and luxury travelers.

I'd love to work with you, and make your next vacation a trip of a lifetime.

Awesome trip
Kim help me plan a surprise trip for my mom a few years ago and she did such a great job so I came back to her to help again. Kim was on top of everything. She always answered all of my questions and even gave me advice and some ideas. I even referred a friend to Kim.

Dream Trip Made A Reality
I was referred to Travel Leaders by a friend & found Kim Johnston. She made the whole process so easy & amazing. I told her where & what I had in mind & she booked it perfectly! Prior to the trip we met with her & she answered all of our questions & addresses any concern we had. The entire trip went so smooth & I felt that she had prepared us so well that there weren't any surprises or issues. I would highly recommend Kim & Travel Leaders for all of your travel needs.

The best of Italy!
Kim is great!! Our group of 11 traveled to Italy from different cities and she coordinated everything perfectly. She planned the perfect trip from beginning to end. Kim is full of knowledge and gave us so many tips about each destination we visited! I will never use anyone else to plan my vacations, she is a gem!

We enjoy working with Kim. I always have 5,000 questions and she’s always prompt, patient, honest and understanding with us. We’ve worked with her on three trips, including our honeymoon in 2013.
