Your Travel Advocate

For more than 30 years, travel has been more than my profession — it's been a way of life. During college I began working part-time in a travel agency in order to do filing and answer the phones. As a travel consultant, I work with clients who are looking for extra special experiences with a high touch. I know where luxury meets adventure, and I provide expert recommendations for every destination I book.

    Our Favorite Award Winning Travel Agent
    We leave most of our travel headaches to our favorite, award-winning travel agent, Carol Horner at Travel Leaders in Virginia Beach. Carol, an old friend and professional travel agent has managed dozens of trips for us from her agency in Kempsville. Carol and Travel Leaders are good at what they do and she has access to discounts and deals we normal people don’t usually see. I like having her on my side when travel-related issues rear their ugly head.
