Travel style

I enjoy planning trips around special occasions and big events. Destination weddings, bowl games, Academy Awards and so on. I love anything with a theme. I layer a trip with off-the-beaten-path exploration and great food and drink!

Terri's reviews

Thankful for Terri's help on a very last minute booking. She offered us ideas that we had not previously thought of.

I forgot what it was like to book with a travel consultant. I’m so glad we did. Thank you Terri for all of your recommendations. We took all of them and they were spot on. Thanks for taking the headache out of travel. We appreciated your personal touches!!

Terri is awesome to work with and is very quick with options/details.

Terri was awesome. She was on her game from the time we reached out to her to plan this trip until the day we left (and even when we were there). She gave us fantastic suggestions and helped us book a trip catered to what WE wanted to do. Could not recommend Terri enough.
