Colette Gallagher is a mother, a two-time Ironman finisher, an avid hiker, a sometimes cyclist, and a lifelong seeker of stories.
Her (mostly) solo travels have taken her from New York to the temples of Uda Pradesh, the beaches of the Baja Peninsula, to the cafes of Chiang Mai, a hair-raising few nights on a houseboat in Srinagar, to cycling through Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. She has walked remote Himalayan trails, explored the red heart of Uluru, and discovered her passion for snowboarding in Whistler.
She believes the best travel experiences blend movement, culture, and a little bit of grit. Her writing is shaped by a curiosity for people and place, and a deep appreciation for both design and discomfort.
Back home in the Gold Coast, Colette is the founder and principal consultant of FOU Agency, a marcomms consultancy providing hands-on strategic and executional support across brand, partnerships, digital, and events.
She works with organisations navigating growth, operational change, and strategic transformation. With over two decades leading high-performance teams across media, automotive, and professional sport, she is now hands-on helping brands grow through bold thinking and smart execution.
