About Me

There's no better way to spend your free time than by traveling! 

Leisure activities are essential to human life and well-being, with the desire for recreation being ingrained in our biology and psychology. (source: Wikipedia) 

Traveling is my passion, and I love helping people pursue their leisure interests through personalized and luxurious travel experiences. With years of experience in coordinating and planning local, national, and international tours and events, I have interacted with people of all ages and backgrounds to ensure that their leisure time is enjoyable and fulfilling. 

After working in the recreation and volunteer management industries for many years, I decided to capitalize on my passions and become a travel consultant and business owner. With my degree in Recreation and my desire to help people, it was a natural transition to become a travel consultant and organizer. Friends and family would always rely on me to take care of bookings and travel plans because of my attention to detail and organization. 

Traveling has always fascinated me, and I have explored different corners of the world, including Europe, the Mediterranean, United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Canada. I am always eager to experience other cultures and learn more about the differences and similarities between people. My heritage has always driven my fascination with other cultures, as my parents are from the Netherlands. 

In the future, I aspire to travel more extensively through Europe and immerse myself in even more cultures. I would love to help you plan your own travel experiences, whether it's for group travel, a family vacation, or a personal getaway. I specialize in personalized travel experiences, including all-inclusive resorts, luxury riverboat and ocean cruises, or custom tours designed specifically for you. 

Should you be searching for professional assistance in travel planning, whether it's for fully independent travel (FIT), river cruises, ocean cruises, or all-inclusive destinations specializing in mid to luxury travel, please feel free to get in contact with me. It would be my pleasure to help bring your travel aspirations to life.

Yours truly, 

Yvonne lePair

Unparalleled Service!
Reviewed By Chris - Victoria, BC | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
I can't speak highly enough about the quality of service Yvonne provided. We have been searching for years for a good travel agent, and Yvonne's professionalism, talent, and work ethic went above-and-beyond.
During an unexpected Omicron quarantine, Yvonne worked the back channels to sort out my reimbursement and return flights, when a cruise representative was unreachable. I don't think I've ever seen such dedicated customer care as Yvonne provided to me.
The real test of customer service is what it's like when things go wrong. My experience with travel agents in the past has been limited to someone who books you a ticket, and nothing more. Yvonne, on the other hand, was committed to the success of our entire trip. As far as I'm concerned, she has set the bar.
I realize this sounds like hyperbole, but I mean it 100%: If you're lucky enough for Yvonne to take you on as your travel agent, don't pass up that opportunity. We'll never use anyone else.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Amazing River Cruise!
Reviewed By GDPat - Halifax, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Rhine River ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Yvonne did an amazing job and found us the perfect River Cruise on the Rhine through Amawaterways! She asked questions to understand our interests, explained our options for the numerous excursions, and helped us make the final decision. She checked in on us regularly before, during and after the cruise to ensure everything was going according to plan. Our trip was a dream vacation!! I don’t hesitate to recommend Yvonne and will definitely use her services again in the future! If you want to work with a travel agent who truly cares and will work hard for you, then Yvonne is your lady!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Dean - Halifax, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Yvonne did an amazing job of organizing this trip. There have been several challenges due to covid and she handled them very confidently and professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending Yvonne to anyone in need of a professional travel agent.
From planning to the actual cruise itself, Yvonne provided good advise and was very proactive in dealing with the numerous challenges.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Above and beyond!
Reviewed By Europe1939 - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Luzern | Switzerland | Europe
From start to finish Yvonne ensured all of our bookings were confirmed and updated. She made sure to check in with us during our trip to make sure everything was going well. When one of our flights was canceled she was already working on the changes before we realized there had been a change! Thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
