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 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.

Everything was excellent! From the early planning to the end, always ready to share knowledge and provide tons of options for a great vacation.

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!!
