About
Vacation is essential for disconnecting from our everyday lives and recharging our batteries. I have a passion for the mountains, beaches, family travel, adventure, delicious meals and spa rejuvenation. I am passionate about hearing where people's adventures take them and helping them create unforgettable memories.
Travel style
In winter, I thrive on skiing in the mountains all day, followed by après-ski with friends, a cozy dinner and a warm fire. In summer, the mountains call to me for hiking, biking and taking in spectacular views. I love jumping in the waves at the beach with my family or unwinding with a good book while enjoying the scenery. Whether traveling with our two kids, escaping with my husband or enjoying a girls' getaway, I find joy in every adventure. Wellness retreats like Miraval are a personal favorite, as travel truly resets the soul. The planning is all part of the journey, and I love being a part of it.

Holly's reviews
Holly made the reservation process seamless and chose the perfect room for me and my kids for move in week. I simply gave her my dates and she searched for the best combination or pricing, amenities, and location. I didn't even have to think! Holly did all the thinking for me and made the process of a very stressful time, extremely easy. I look forward to using Holly's services for all of my travel needs!

Holly made our reservation promptly and was able to get us a refundable rate which was better than we could have done booking the room ourselves.

We asked Holly for a boutique hotel in a residential neighborhood and this was an amazing suggestion. She gave us a bunch of options in a range of prices in the area where we wanted to stay. She got back to us promptly and helped us make the right decision on where to stay and then booked us in immediately. She's great!
