Meet Terri, Owner & Travel Advisor

As the owner of my travel agency, I’m passionate about helping others create unforgettable travel experiences. I live in the charming community of Lake Lotawana, Missouri, where I enjoy the peaceful lake life with my wonderful blended family—my spouse, three sons, and one daughter. Our kids have grown up but haven't grown out of the lake lifestyle, we enjoy seeing them as much as we can! When I’m not on the lake, I’m exploring the world, from sun-soaked beaches to the rich history of Europe, my newest travel love.

​Being in the travel industry since 1994, I have many years of experience, opening my own agency in 2017 has been the most rewarding decision. Travel has always been my passion, and now I get to share that enthusiasm by turning my clients’ dream vacations into reality, creating memories that last a lifetime.

​Hi! I'm Brian.  I have lived in Blue Springs with my wife for the last 25 years where we raised our children.  I am lucky enough to have my son, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter very close by!  I have a serious love for sunshine, sandy beaches, and unforgettable escapes. My passion for travel began with tropical vacations—the turquoise waters of Mexico, the laid-back vibes of Jamaica, and the all-inclusive bliss of the Dominican Republic. Those early adventures sparked something in me, and I knew I wanted to help others experience the same kind of magic.
Now, I work with clients to take the stress out of planning and turn dream vacations into reality.  I’m here to guide you every step of the way—with personalized service that fits your style and budget.
Travel should be exciting, not overwhelming. So if you're ready to relax, recharge, and explore the world (or at least a beachside hammock), let's chat—I’d love to help you plan your perfect escape.

My travel addiction began when my husband won a trip to Thailand many years ago.  Since then I have had the opportunity to sip champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower, ridden a camel at the base of the Pyramids, participated in an authentic Greek cooking class in Athens, lounged lazily under palm trees on several beaches in the Caribbean and Mexico and, most recently, cruised through the Panama Canal.  I look forward to partnering and sharing my travel passion with you

Hi there! I’m based in Oak Grove, Missouri, where my husband and I both grew up and went to school. We have a busy life with our five kids, four grandkids, and two lovable dogs. When I’m not planning the next getaway, you’ll usually find me outdoors, lost in a good book, or—no surprise—dreaming about travel.
My favorite destinations? It’s a close tie between the lush landscapes of Ireland and the laid-back luxury of Sandals Grande Antigua.
I believe travel is about so much more than just checking off destinations—it’s about the memories you create, the people you meet, and the new perspectives you gain along the way. That’s the heart of what I do. As your travel agent, I’m here to make your journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible.  By handling all the details, I take the stress out of planning so you can truly enjoy every moment.
Whether you’re dreaming of your next big adventure or a quiet escape, I’m here to help make it extraordinary. Your journey starts here—and it’s going to be unforgettable.
Let’s turn your travel dreams into unforgettable memories.

Growing up with your mom as a Travel Advisor definitely has its perks, like going on your first plane at three-months old or perfecting your walking skills on a cruise ship, but most of all I gained a passion for travel at a very early age. It sparked my interest so much I changed my education path at Missouri State University early in order to have my Bachelors Degree in Hospitality Leadership. I have always had a love for All-Inclusive travel especially in the Caribbean but recently have been inspired by European travel! My hobbies outside of travel include a huge passion for coffee, being in Chiefs kingdom (of course a huge swiftie), reading, gardening, and anything to do with my fur babies Waylon and Laya. I hope to share my travel passions with you soon! ​

​I am married and have two dogs, aka my children. My first international vacation was in 2014 for my honeymoon and I have loved to travel ever since! Travel is such a humbling and amazing adventure that I believe all people should experience. When I'm not traveling, I am spending time outdoors at the lake, spending time with our family and friends, and cheering on the Chiefs! I hope to gain even more travel insights to help clients plan their own perfect vacations!
