Hawaii Local & Certified Destination Expert

Waimea Canyon on Kaua'i 2022

Aloha! I'm Terra, a lifelong Hawaii local and founder of Beach and Boujee Travel, a boutique travel agency based on Oahu. Growing up on the Big Island and now calling Oahu home, Hawaii isn't just where I work, it's who I am. That deep cultural connection shapes everything I do as a travel advisor, from the destinations I recommend to the experiences I curate.

I came to the travel industry in 2023 through a background in restaurant, hospitality, and resort weddings and catering management; a foundation built on service, attention to detail, and creating memorable moments. I know what it feels like to be truly taken care of, and I bring that standard to every trip I plan.

My specialty is Hawaii destination travel for families and couples who want to experience the islands mindfully and intentionally; moving beyond the resort and into the real Hawaii, the kind that honors the land, the culture, and the aloha spirit. Whether it's a family reunion on the Big Island, a romantic escape to Maui, or a first-timer's introduction to Oahu, I bring insider knowledge and genuine passion to every itinerary.

But my reach goes beyond the islands. I craft elevated, intentional experiences for discerning travelers heading anywhere in the world, approaching every destination with the same care and curiosity I bring to my own backyard. I'm constantly investing in my education by attending industry webinars, building supplier relationships, and expanding my destination knowledge so I can serve my clients at the highest level.

My travel philosophy is simple: luxury is a feeling, not a price tag. As a Certified Hawaii Destination Expert, Special Needs Group Certified advisor, and proud ASTA member, I hold myself to the highest standards of professionalism, accessibility, and client care.

When I'm not planning trips, you'll find me soaking up the island life; surrounded by the ocean, the mountains, and the community that shaped me. My sons have been my greatest passion, purpose, and privilege, and now that they're grown and spreading their wings, it's time for me to spread mine and explore the world alongside my amazing clients. If you're ready to experience travel the Beach and Boujee way, let's go somewhere amazing.
