About Me

Taking in the views from Mount Pilatus
Taking in the views from Mount Pilatus

Before visiting, I expected spectacular mountain scenery, charming villages, and world-famous chocolate. What I didn’t expect was how different each region of Switzerland would feel and how much variety could be packed into one country.

Selected for an exclusive Globus journey through Switzerland, I explored destinations including Zurich, Neuchâtel, Montreux, Bern, Lucerne, and Lugano. Along the way, I took in the views atop Mount Pilatus surrounded by fresh snow, explored medieval city centers, enjoyed traditional Swiss fondue in Gruyères, visited the famous Cailler Chocolate Factory, enjoyed a sunset boat ride on Lake Lugano, and experienced how easily Switzerland pairs with northern Italy during a visit to nearby Lake Como.

Many travelers think of Switzerland as simply a Swiss Alps vacation. While the mountains are truly spectacular, Switzerland offers so much more. Scenic rail journeys, historic cities, lake cruises, local traditions, regional flavors, and opportunities to explore year-round all create an incredibly rewarding travel experience.

One of the things I loved most was discovering how quickly the culture, language, and atmosphere changed from region to region. The French-speaking areas of Switzerland offered a completely different feel from the Italian-speaking region around Lugano, creating the sense of experiencing multiple destinations within a single Switzerland itinerary.

Because there is so much to see and do, one of my favorite parts of planning Switzerland vacations is helping travelers narrow down what fits best into a single trip. Scenic rail journeys, mountain villages, historic cities, guided tours, and Switzerland-and-Italy itineraries all offer a completely different perspective on the country.

As an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor (VTA), Certified Travel Associate (CTA), and Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC), I combine firsthand travel experience with ongoing professional education to help clients create meaningful, well-planned Switzerland vacations.

Having explored Switzerland firsthand, I enjoy helping travelers move beyond the postcard images and discover the many sides of this remarkable destination.

Old Friends, New Adventures
Reviewed By JanetSue - Huntington Woods, Michigan | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
Four old friends were heading off to a trip that was a bit out of our comfort zone. We had never traveled to Asia but we were excited for new experiences. Terra helped us in so many ways, from initially booking the trip, to answering our multitude of questions, to eventually sending us off with some very useful travel gifts. Boy, did the handheld fan, cooling towel and poncho come in handy in Vietnam and Cambodia. She also printed out our travel documents which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Terra for your travel needs.
Terra Brown responded

    You Win Some, You Lose Some
    "Terra is amazing! I planned a cruise thru her for my bachelorette party and she was amazing and helped me decide on the best place to go within my budget. After the cruise was decided, she stayed on top of making sure she sent emails to my girls and answering any and all questions we had. Unfortunately due to medical reasons, I had to cancel my cruise. But Terra has still been amazing with helping us get our refunds and checking on me to make sure I am alright.I love that even when she couldn’t talk at the moment, she always sent me a text telling me she is busy and will call me when she can. She is very friendly and down to earth! And if and when I plan another trip, I would love to utilize her services again."

    Spring Break in LA
    "Terra was amazing! She listened to my thoughts on what we were looking for in our vacation and sent me links to several hotel options. I found the one that seemed perfect and she quickly made the reservation. She also made us a great itenerary with all our flight info (even though we booked that ourselves) and our park tickets. It was so easy to find what we needed! Our weather was not perfect but the itenerary included things to do that we didn't plan so we were able to find indoor things to keep us busy."
