About me
Hi I’m Yvonne,
Owner & Founder of Travels By Yvonne, your Luxury Travel Designer in Northern Virginia.
I love helping busy couples & families create personalized trips to Europe & South East Asia as well as amazing cruise adventures all over the world.
I understand that Luxury means something else to everyone – luxury of time, luxury of travel, luxury of unique experiences, luxury of quality time with your loved ones, luxury of independence and yes, luxury of extra legroom! Luxury travel means experiencing destinations on YOUR terms.
I believe in tailoring experiences to your personalized preferences.
This way you can actually relax, explore & reconnect with your loved ones while I take care of everything else.
Born and raised in Germany, I lived in Ireland for several years before coming to the US and then moved to the DC/Northern Virginia area from Los Angeles, CA a few years ago.
I have over 20 years of extensive experience in the travel and tourism industry and my love of travel has taken me to fabulous places around the world including Spain, Northern & Central Europe, Greek Isles, Indonesia, Bali and many many more.
A few years ago, I took a 3-month trip through South East Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia) and also learnt to scuba dive!
Really, I lost my heart there and have been back quite a few times since. One of my most recent trips to Asia took me back to Singapore as well as Malaysian Borneo and it was just an incredible adventure!
I do have 2 young sons and absolutely understand the certain (and very different) needs when traveling as a family.
