Meet the Team

David M LaMere


Founder/Owner


- David was born in Upstate New York and raised by his grandparents. His grandmother was a frequent traveler and took him along with her often. He enjoyed traveling and knew at a young age that he wanted to dedicate his career to giving clients the same type of experiences he had growing up.


After high school, he became a family man! He started having children before becoming a school bus driver for a large school district in Upstate New York. A short time later, he started part-time driving for a local charter / motorcoach company. That continued to grow his passion for the industry.  He moved to Northwest Indiana in 2005 and continued to drive both school bus and motorcoach out of the Chicagoland area.


In 2008, he gave up the school bus side and went full-time into the motorcoach side so he could travel further away from the area and experience more of our great nation. Long story short, after working with a couple more companies, his career led him to the Iowa City area where he planted his roots for the long haul.


From 2017-2019, he managed a motorcoach company that was in the area for a short time and was remarkably successful in building that business. Little did he know it was a short-term plan of theirs to be in the area. Since he didn't want to move again, he decided it’s now time to start his own company and use his experience to make LaMere Family Travel the most successful company it can be for both our clients and his family to eventually carry on his passion for many generations!

Svetlana McCurry


Managing Partner


- Svetlana was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and later adopted by Susie & David McCurry in 1996.  Growing up, she lived in both Iowa & Florida.  When she was in her early teens, she began to travel with her parents (David & Susie).


We are fortunate to have Svetlana onboard as she has traveled the world extensively and brings all that experience back with her to give our clients that personal touch experience like no other. 


In addition to her travel experience, Svetlana graduated Upper Iowa University with both a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a Master's degree in Public Administration.

“My goal in starting this company is to bring amazing memories

to our travelers while saving them money.”


-Dave
