Return to My Main Profile

Trova is Italian for “find and discover,” which is what I believe traveling is all about.

Ever since I received my first international pen-pal letter at age twelve, I’ve been hooked on travel. I daydreamed about the cities to which my letters would go and promised myself that I would visit all those places one day. Fast-forward 30 years and it turns out that just keeping my word wasn’t enough, but that promise—of travel and experiencing the world—became a lifelong passion and my career.

Being a travel professional is more than just a job to me; I look forward to building our relationship over time. As your personal travel expert and advocate, know that you’ll always have the support and advice you need. To that end, I am a little old-fashioned and you can expect thorough details in your hand well in advance of any booking.

No matter what phase of life you are in, I believe in delivering exceptional services and creating custom travel experiences. This is why, in addition to my vast personal travel experience and extensive knowledge in Europe and luxury cruising, you’ll also have access to my network of trusted partners who enable me to plan the trip of a lifetime.

I also know the importance of making time for travel and the impact those trips can have. Why trust those memories with anyone other than a professional? You focus on making new memories and let me plan a seamless vacation that everyone will be talking about for years to come.

From a weekend excursion to an around-the-world adventure, and everything in between, we can make all your travel daydreams come true!

The best trip in the past decade!

Leah put together a 15 day Central Europe trip for my husband and me. 5 countries - 3 days in each with Air B and B, trains, planes and automobiles. Leah also booked our tours which included a bike tour in Budapest and a private guide in Warsaw. The details were polished and the itinerary was clear and simple to follow. I have recommended Lead Iudice to my friends and Family and will use her expertise again and again.

Adriatic Cruise

I have planned 3 trips with Leah and the latest one this summer of 2023 ha a been the most luxurious and culturally interesting experience my husband and I have been on. We are experienced travelers and do not fear plunging into the unknown with little or no planning but our latest trip has been wonderful due in large part to Leah’s help.

A perfect way to celebrate!

Leah expertly planned our recent trip to London. Her professionalism combined with her personal travel experience and attention to every detail provided us with a family vacation we will never forget. Having never planned a vacation like this, we were overwhelmed with details such as where to stay and what to do when we were there. Leah walked us though every step. She booked transportation, flights, excursions, and dinner reservations. Her guidance truly removed the stress from the planning and let us just be excited for our trip. And the trip was amazing! We couldn’t have done it without her expert advice and preparation. She really covered every detail with us, and even made sure we left enough time to do things that we discovered after our arrival. I have already recommended her to my family and friends and will definitely use her again!

First of Many

Leah is an incredible resource, knowledgeable guide, and caring soul. I worked with Leah to plan a three country European trip in Fall 2019 for my husband and myself. From the beginning, working with Leah was fantastic. She listens to your needs AND wants to curate a wonderful experience. Her communication is prompt, helpful, and clear. Each option she presented us was obviously hand-picked and sourced from reputable vendors. The execution of our trip was flawless, from the physical itinerary (lifesaver!) to the excursions and everything between. Many travel agents do their job, some do their job well, but if you’re looking for someone who will not only ensure an effortless experience on your part coupled with a warm, friendly above-and-beyond attitude, I encourage you to work with Leah.

Custom trip to Iceland with extra WOW

Leah is an excellent travel advisor who does exactly that--she listens to her clients and then advises them on experiences and suggestions that will take their trip to the next level. She recently put together a custom itinerary for a group to spend a week in Iceland, and every detail was absolutely perfect. We had an amazing time without a glitch and were treated to some incredible, unique experiences that the average tourist would not even know about! I cannot recommend working with Leah enough because she cares about her clients having an exceptional experience and will not disappoint!

A remarkable cruise through the French wine region

Leah is a fantastic travel professional and goes above and beyond to create exceptional experiences for her clients. She is very knowledgeable about airlines, trains, cruise lines, you name it, and will work with anyone's timelines and budgets. In April 2023, she coordinated a group of ten women, some she knew and some she didn't, for a river cruise through the Bordeaux region, with various different excursions and trip add-ons before and after the cruise, and the trip was absolutely perfect. We stayed in incredible hotels, had pre-purchased tickets to museums, and had a very fun time on the ship with excellent service. Everything went off without a hitch and her attention to detail ensured that we all had a hassle-free experience. I recommend Leah to all my friends and family and trust her with all my international travel!

Perfect trip to Umbria

Thank you, Leah and Alessandro, for an incredible trip to Umbria! The whole experience was wonderful and I especially appreciated the good pacing, with daily tours at the start of the week, then two open days around the day-long trip to Tuscany. It felt like we did so much, but it never felt tiring or stressful. The highlights for me were the Assisi tour, the wine tastings (that lasagna!) and the villa. I loved that we had lots of room to be together but there was also space to hang out by yourself to just enjoy the environment and atmosphere. And the view of vineyards and Assisi from our room had me pinching myself every morning! I know I will be talking about this trip for a long, long time!

AMAZING trips: Italy, London, Paris, Hawaii

My family has used Trova Travel group for vacation planning several times now and have been extremely happy with Leah's help. She has traveled around the world herself and her knowledge of each destination is truly amazing. She is so invested in our plans and that my family has a wonderful vacation. She tries to incorporate each persons' needs and likes on the vacation, from accommodations to excursions as well as dining. She is available during the planning stage as well as during the vacation if the need arises. I will be planning my next vacation through Trova Travel Group and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family! In fact, I have recommended her to several people and they all rave about Leah!
