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

Terri was absolutely amazing in booking my 60th birthday celebration to Napa Valley. She was super responsive and paid attention to details that made the whole trip memorable and special. Everything was absolutely perfect. She makes you feel like you are her only customer. I would highly recommend Terri!!

Working with Terri was a great experience. She was knowledgeable, very timely with communication, and flexible with our changes in plans. She found out what our needs were, did a significant amount of research to provide us with options, and curated an experience that pleased everyone in our party. I highly recommend working with Terri if you want a stress free travel experience.

Terri goes above and beyond to ensure I have a positive experience on all my travels. She is timely with all communication and professional in all interactions. She is thorough and detail-oriented when researching travel options. When she does not know the answer to my questions she quickly finds the answer.

Quick, easy and efficient with the bonus of complete familiarity with NYC .
