About
I'm the spreadsheet aficionado who is always on the quest to create the perfect travel experience at every new destination I visit. For me, that means a trip that's equal parts heart-pounding adventure and soul-soothing relaxation. It's about immersing yourself in local culture and savoring every bite of the amazing cuisine along the way. I didn't travel extensively when I was younger, so now I'm on a mission to make up for lost time. I cherish every moment out of the office (OOO) and strive to help others do the same.
Travel style
I specialize in crafting journeys that strike the perfect equilibrium between splurging and saving. It's about knowing when to indulge in a private villa with an ocean view and when to savor local street food that tantalizes your taste buds without denting your wallet. Your next adventure begins with a conversation. Reach out to me, and let's start crafting a tailor-made journey that brings precision and spontaneity together for an unforgettable journey.

Holly was so helpful! She found us way better hotels than we would've found on our own and for great prices. The booking process was simple and easy and the hotels were exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend!

Holly Lacombe was incredible. From the start of planning our vacation until the day we were leaving, she was always available and answered every question. The entire trip was the best, without a single hiccup and that was all because of Holly. Thank you so much! I can't wait to plan our next vacation with Holly!!!
