Travel has a power that is truly difficult to put into words. 🌍✨

Meet Merrin — one of Collette's incredible Tour Managers — as she shares a special moment with a traveler that stopped her in her tracks. 🎥 I promise this one will stay with you. 🥰

These are the moments that remind us why we travel in the first place. Not just the landmarks and the itineraries — but the deeply human, unexpected, unforgettable connections that happen along the way. That is the Collette difference and it is something I am so proud to share with my clients every single day.

Now I want to hear from YOU — what is the most special moment you have ever had while traveling? Drop it in the comments below! 👇 I would genuinely love to read every single one! 😊

⏰ Deal alert! I have a 1 Bedroom Deluxe unit at Wyndham Waikiki Beach Walk available November 13–20, 2026 for $1,600 — but there's a hard deadline. The owner needs to cancel this reservation by September 11th to protect his timeshare credits, so if it's not booked by then, this deal disappears.

If you've been wanting a Hawaii getaway, now's the time to grab it — steps from Waikiki Beach, resort pool, and everything Beach Walk has to offer.
