Terry brings to the travel industry a multi-cultural background, a zest for traveling and an extensive sales experience. Born in Egypt, raised in Lebanon and French-educated, Terry started traveling throughout Europe at age 18 and has since lived in France, Belgium, Greece, Egypt, Lebanon and the United States. Terry is fluent in English, French and Arabic and can successfully dabble in Spanish and Italian. Terry’s business background is as diversified as her cultural background. Originally working in banking operations, purchasing and security, she later transferred to private banking catering to high net-worth and entertainment industry clients, and transitioned into the planning and design of financial institutions. Her next challenge came in the form of launching her own company representing domestic and international textile mills in the U.S. Running this business required a high level of skills in selling to, negotiating and interacting with executives and businesses around the globe and the experience brought a higher understanding of worldwide cultures and etiquettes. Terry is an avid traveler and an avid reader who loves exploring different cultures, architecture and history. Her extensive sales and personal travel background led Terry to make a career out of her passion: traveling.
In 1987 I earned my CTC certification; this certification can be likened to a Masters Degree program for Travel Consultants. As part of my never-ending quest to acquire knowledge, in 2012 I completed Imperial Tours China Expert Certification Program. Most of my clients have booked repeat business with me for many years; whether it be for an Upscale Active Vacation, High-End Resort or Spa stay, Educational, Culinary, Romantic or Multi-Generational Family travel; Exotic or Familiar destinations are areas in my wheelhouse.
I have orchestrated both family and private group travel to China with Imperial Tours. My most discerning clientele have found Imperial Tours travel programs a perfect fit for their taste for personalized service, customization and luxury experiential travel. As an award-winning photographer, I love to travel to beautiful, interesting and colorful destinations. Some of my favorite travels have taken me to East & Southern Africa, Thailand, Italy, France and Prague, all great subjects for photo-enthusiasts.
I have just returned from a long-awaited visit to China with Imperial Tours where I was able to ascend to photo-heaven! We visited Beijing (Great Wall), Xi’an (Terra Cotta Warriors), Hangzhou (West Lake), Shanghai (The Bund) and Chengdu (Pandas!) and each provided a unique perspective on China and her ever changing culture and economy. It is a most exciting time to go and visit and enjoy the fabulous cuisine, luxury accommodations, fun shopping and rich historical experiences. It would be my great pleasure to assist you with crafting your Imperial Tours journey.
