Lead Explorers: What We Do


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

After a year on the road with her own family in 2010, 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 create the best bonding of all.
