Born and raised in the heart of Switzerland, Colette Brown's lifelong love affair with travel began early. Her childhood adventures across Europe with her family laid the foundation for a life dedicated to exploring the world and helping others do the same. From wandering the cobbled streets of Lisbon to ringing in the New Year at Raffles in Singapore, Colette has always been drawn to a destination's soul and the stories it tells.
With decades of hands-on travel experience, Colette entered the travel industry as a profession and a passion. Starting as an assistant focused on cruise travel—a mode she already knew intimately—she quickly grew her expertise and presence. One of her proudest milestones includes organizing and escorting a group of 96 travelers on a two-week Mediterranean cruise, complete with seamless pre- and post-cruise arrangements and personalized daily excursions.
Colette specializes in curating bespoke travel experiences tailored to her clients' passions, from themed getaways focused on food, wine, gardening, and golf, to unforgettable sailing adventures and immersive cultural escapes. Her approach is equal parts stylist, designer, and trusted confidant—working collaboratively with her clients to build journeys that deliver value, indulgence, authenticity, and ease.
Recognized within the industry, Colette was nominated as one of just 14 travel advisors featured in the 2022 Travel Agent Appreciation special issue of Travel Courier and Canadian Travel Press, an honor reflecting her dedication, professionalism, and deep industry knowledge.
With a network of colleagues from every corner of the globe, Colette offers clients unrivaled insight, access, and connection. She sees herself not just as a travel planner, but as a destination specialist guiding her clients through a rapidly evolving world of travel—with less stress and more certainty.
Whether it's luxury rail journeys through Southeast Asia, bucket-list cruises to Antarctica, or Mediterranean escapes soaked in sun and history, Colette Brown delivers travel with a personal touch and a global perspective. Her mission is simple: to help clients dream big, travel well, and return transformed. When not planning travel, Colette volunteers her time supporting hospital patients and community members in need. She always lives by the belief that kindness, like travel, connects us all.
