Lead Explorers: What We Do

Lead Explorers creates experience-based global family trips from 1-week to 1-year in length.

After a year on the road with her own family, Dana wanted to share (and re-live!) the lessons learned and the excitement of a global adventure discovering the far reaches of our world. Experiencing, not just sight-seeing; making children citizens of the world. Family travel, particularly to places that are sometimes outside our comfort zones, can be the best bonding of all.

Lead Explorers is different because we have been there and know how to design and adjust your adventure to your specific needs.

How We Work

Quite simply, we've been there and want to let our experience improve yours.

Our Process

Dana and her husband took their four children (14, 12, 11, 11) to all seven continents for a full year in 2010. That experience exposed hundreds of do's and don't's that are incorporated into the Lead Explorers design process for every client.

Understanding You

It all starts with a deep dive into what you and your family want to gain from a global adventure.

Integrating the Best Location Partners

Local knowledge and a go-to organization in every country. World class guides ensure a deeper connection to local people, history and customs.

Learning and Revising

Every family learns what works – and what doesn’t. Flexibility to adjust as your adventure progresses is critical.

testimonials

•  This trip for our family would not be possible without Dana and her team. Dana met with us to really understand what we wanted and helped our children understand the importance of our upcoming life-changing experience. Dana’s attention to the day-by-day detail is unique and priceless. 

  Paul and Navyn Salem

• There never really seems to be the “right time” for something like this, but really, what in life is more important than exploring the world with your kids?  Dana and her team of professionals around the world made this epic experience possible.

  Lauri Union and Stan Rosenzweig

• This is a once-in-a-lifetime, and Dana’s knowledge and guidance made it brilliant.  I cannot imagine a better consultant and travel designer!
