Terri Voeller, Travel Advisor

Terri grew up in the Big Sky State of Montana, but has also lived in Arizona, California, Idaho, Wisconsin and Rhode Island.  Terri’s mission is to explore as much as possible in and near the locations she has called home and in new destinations throughout the world.  Terri’s love for travel has taken her and her family on cruises to most of the Caribbean islands and to Europe, Canada and most of the United States.  She is also an excellent resource for trips to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park.  Her experience, attention to detail and focus on quality are assets to every client.  Terri believes in personalizing a client’s experience to meet their expectation and exceed the standard “package trip” that others offer. Additionally, Terri’s Montana upbringing lends to a unique perspective on outdoor excursions such as hiking, biking, camping, whitewater raft trips, horseback riding etc. that allows her to take a client’s vacation from standard to exceptional.

Terri believes that giving back is important, and she is on the Board of Directors and is the Event Planner for the Billy Poole Foundation, a nonprofit organization for disadvantaged and at risk youth. Terri believes giving back is important which is why she volunteers for school, community and national events.
